Now, there are several rivalries in the cricket world that exist between national teams. On the other hand, there are numerous smaller rivalries which the fans enjoy more. This is between renowned players and the stars of individual teams.
David Warner says that while winning the match is important, it is also important that the smaller battles are won. Therefore, in a match between Australia and India, thoughts like “I have to score more than Virat” or “I have to score more runs than Steve Smith” prevail on both ends.
“You have these little contests and that’s how you try to narrow the game in the sense that if we do these little things, we can be ahead of the game or we can be behind the game.”
