IND vs AUS: Border-Gavaskar Trophy – Test legend Matthew Hayden says that if asked, he would gladly provide his services in assisting Australia in resolving their batting difficulties in India—and he would do it for free. Hayden has a history of team and personal success in this region of the world, but the former devastating opener is in India commentating on the series for host channel Star Sports.

“One hundred per cent, at any time of the day or night, it is a given that myself – and I’m sure I speak for anyone else that I represent that would have that kind of influence – would 100 per cent be in,” Hayden said.

Former Australian captain Michael Clarke also believes that the team should consult Hayden, who has been critical of the tourists’ shot choices while commentating the series on Indian television. Hayden, one of Australia’s all-time best batters, has 30 Test hundreds to his credit, including two that he scored in India.
Australia somehow managed to fall from 1/61 to all out for 113, losing 8/28 in less than a session, to go 2-0 down in the series—one of the worst batting collapses in recent memory. After only six days of play, the defeat ended their slim chance of winning a Test series for the first time since 2004 and guaranteed India would keep the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In the second innings, six Australian players were dimissed while attempting cross-bat sweep shots, a tactic that has drawn significant criticism. Hayden was one of the select few players to execute sweep strokes under Indian conditions, but he insisted that it is not a shot that should be played routinely.
At the 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cups, Hayden served as Pakistan’s batting coach and mentor. His stirring speech as Pakistan advanced to the semifinals in November captured the attention of cricket fans all around the world.
