Khaleel Ahmed learning the ropes on his maiden Australia tour

MELBOURNE: Young India pacer Khaleel Ahmed is finding out on a regular basis on his maiden excursion of Australia and getting the a lot needed lend a hand from senior pro Bhuvneshwar Kumar on bowl on the onerous and bouncy tracks Down Under.

The T20I sequence to this point has been a combined bag for the 20-year-old, who took two a very powerful wickets within the abandoned 2d T20 on Friday after getting hammered within the opening game on the Gabba.

India arrived in Australia lower than a week to go for the sequence opener and adjusting to the onerous and bouncy surfaces is a work in growth for Ahmed.

"Conditions are different here. Against the West Indies or in Asia Cup, we played in subcontinent and in familiar grounds. When you come to Australia, there weren't many practice sessions and it isn't easy to figure out which line/length is the best option here," mentioned Ahmed, who has performed six ODIs and five T20s.

"So it isn't easy to come and play here. If you don't have ample practice sessions and then suddenly play T20 matches where batsmen own the game, it is a bit difficult. And you cannot even get relaxed against a team like Australia because they fight until the end as their lower order showed today."

Ahmed opened the bowling with Bhuvneshwar on Friday and inspired through casting off the damaging Chris Lynn and D'Arcy Short.

"I've learnt a lot prior to now few months, particularly prepare for a game and the way critically you wish to have to take this career. I've learnt three issues - professionalism, maturity and duty from the senior bowlers and give a boost to personnel.

"Someone like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he is a strike bowler in this day and age and leads the staff with duty that he needs to take wickets. He bowls to a selected line and duration, and that is something you get to be informed from him - bowl with such a lot duty as he bowls in all formats."

Talking in regards to the intermittent rain that led to the sport being called off, Ahmed mentioned it used to be frustrating for the Indian staff. The target used to be revised three times for the visitors sooner than rain had the remaining giggle.

"Rain dissatisfied us as it breaks momentum particularly while you know what the target is. Because of rain objectives can range from bigger to smaller and it gets frustrating as a staff while you go out to bat after a climate spoil.

"The target was low because we bowled well. We could have won the game with a good batting performance. But unfortunately rain didn't help."

India are staring an extraordinary sequence defeat in T20s, having received the past six, but Ahmed mentioned the temper within the dressing room stays upbeat.

"Dressing room spirits are high because we know we have played well in both games and can do the same in the last game as well. So, in the third game we aim to play even better and try to draw the series on Sunday."

In a change of ploy from Brisbane, Ahmed shared the brand new ball with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the duo shared four wickets to damage the Australian top-order. The hosts had been diminished to 103-7 at one stage but made a restoration of varieties to achieve 132 sooner than the rain came.

"The thought was that I can swing the new ball so that would be better if I could take early wickets. So they gave me confidence to take the new ball and in my mind I had the same thing that if I get the new ball, I would try to generate swing and utilize it by taking wickets. I think I used it well and took wickets," Ahmed added.
