Australian women바카라s cricket team wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy says she seeks inspiration from Rohit Sharma and wants to replicate the flamboyant Indian opener바카라s success across all three formats. The right-hander is gearing up for the multi-format series against India comprising three ODIs, a day-night Test and three T20 internationals, starting on September 21. (More Cricket News)

Having played only four Test matches, Healy said she will approach the 바카라tricky바카라 pink-ball fixture, which will be played from September 30 to October 3 in Canberra, like an ODI. 바카라It바카라s a tricky one because I바카라ve only played four Tests so I wouldn바카라t say I바카라m overly comfortable with how to play or how to approach a Test,바카라 Healy was quoted as saying at a 바카라Fox Cricket바카라 launch event.

바카라From my point of view, I don바카라t think it's going to change too much from my ODI batting. I think the ability to give yourself more time is such a blessing. I look at the modern Test game and see how it's changed quite a lot. I look at someone like Rohit Sharma who is one of the most devastating white-ball batters in the world and yet he바카라s a really successful opener in Test cricket.바카라

After dominating the white-ball game, the Indian limited-overs vice-captain has proved his mettle in the red-ball format as well. Opening the batting, Rohit has played a key role during India바카라s tour of Australia and England. 바카라So for me, I said look at somebody like him and think about how he translates those skills across all the formats, could I potentially replicate that somehow?바카라 she added.

The two sides have developed a fierce rivalry over the years. India had knocked Australia out in the semifinal of the 2017 World Cup thanks to Harmanpreet Kaur바카라s 171 off 115. At the women바카라s T20 World Cup last year, India had drawn first blood taking the opening match on the back of senior spinner Poonam Yadav바카라s brilliant spell.

However, Australia had made a strong comeback in the final, handing India an 85-run defeat. Talking about the series ahead, Healy said the unpredictable nature of the Indian team makes them dangerous. 바카라Sometimes a bit of the unknown and the unpredictable nature of India makes them incredibly dangerous. They've picked a few new players that we haven't seen before on this tour,바카라 Healy said.

바카라So they always love throwing something new at us, even if it is Poonam Yadav, she always has something new to throw at us, just to kick us off track again,바카라 she added.
