Australia captain Pat Cummins defended his top order batsmen as they struggled again in the third Test against India. Despite a collapse, Cummins focused on strategic plays over statistics. Rising star Sam Konstas has been making headlines, prompting calls for his inclusion in the test squad.

In a staunch defense of his team, Australia captain Pat Cummins responded to criticism directed at the top-order batsmen following their performance in the drawn third test against India in Brisbane.

The Australian side faced a significant collapse at 33 for five during their second innings, but Cummins explained that tactical decisions, like seeking quick runs, were prioritized over player statistics.

This comes amid a surge in attention for 19-year-old Sam Konstas, whose impressive performances have led to discussions about his potential inclusion in the test squad, despite Cummins' support of current player Nathan McSweeney.
