Australian Test skipper Tim Paine has rubbished claims from former captain Michael Clarke that his players sucked up to Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the summer of 2018-19.claiming earlier this week that the Aussies "sucked up" to Indian captain Virat Kohli and his squad to safeguard their big money IPL contracts.
"Everybody knows how powerful India are in regards to the financial part of the game, internationally or domestically with the IPL," Clarke said on Big Sports. However, the comments didn't set well with Paine who made it clear to Aussie cricket fans that his side was doing everything they could to play their best and get Kohli out when they had the chance."I certainly didn't notice too many people being that nice to Virat or not trying to get him out or anything like that.
"I thought everyone who had the ball in their hand or when we were batting were trying their absolute best to win the game for Australia. "We certainly had a thing where we didn't want to provoke any fight with him because we think that's when he plays at his best."
