'Only thing that can allow Warner to succeed is to go aggressive': Aakash Chopra Image

In response to David Warner's struggles against Ravichandran Ashwin, cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra stated that the Australian opener needs to be more aggressive in order to triumph over the Indian spinner.

In Nagpur, India defeated Australia by an innings and 132 runs. For the 11th time in Test cricket, Ashwin dismissed Warner, who had only 11 runs in the innings.

"Warner will almost certainly face the new ball against Ashwin in the remaining six innings of the India vs. Australia Test series. I believe Ashwin is mostly in his head. It's difficult when that happens. It's as if Ashwin will always get the better of you, no matter what "Chopra spoke to ESPNcricinfo.

"The only way for David Warner to succeed is to be aggressive. Your confidence is low even if you are defending. So, try your luck, come out smashing, and maybe you'll come out on top "He went on to say.

Australia will be looking to bounce back after a huge loss in the first Test when the two sides lock horns in the second, starting from February 17 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
