New Delhi, March 11: David Warner is aiming to break the stranglehold that R Ashwin holds over him by adopting the reverse sweep against India’s star spinner.
R Ashwin has dismissed Warner nine times in 23 Test innings, including three times in the current series, which is tied at 1-1 ahead of the third meeting in Ranchi.
David Warner paid credit to the 30-year-old, but thinks he may have found a way to nullify his threat when the next match begins on Thursday – though the left-hander concedes it is not without its risks.
“I’m working on a few things in the nets,” said David Warner, who averages 48.27 in Tests.
“That’s credit to him. He’s a fantastic bowler, he’s got a lot of wickets in his backyard and I have to respect that.”
David Warner has contributed 98 runs in the series, which started with a resounding 333-run win for the tourists, before India levelled it up with a 75-run triumph last time out.
