“However there are some psychological cracks as properly within the opposition. Having come to Australia for 30-40 years, I believe that is the primary time an Indian workforce is feeling that, ‘ what, we’re higher than the opposition in their very own yard’. I do not assume an Indian workforce has ever thought that method. Quietly they are going to be pondering ‘we should lose it right here’.”
