New Delhi: India vs Australia Test cricket series isn't the only sporting battle on at the moment. The most prestigious golf tournament of the country, the Indian Open is also underway.
While the spectators are tracking the Indian Open through the leaderboard, the golfers themselves seem to be more interested in the India-Australia cricket series.
Golfers like New Zealand's Mark Brown are keeping an eye on the action.
"I would certainly back the Indian team and like you say I don't think there is any New Zealander that would ever back the Australian team. I hope the Australian boys aren't listening but I am hoping for a win for India," says Brown.
Sweden's Indian-origin golfer Daniel Chopra, too, in keenly following the series.
"We have had some success of late and we beat them in Australia. So when they come over here, I think India will win the series. God knows what the score will be but it is good thing that India and Australia are playing more cricket against each other," says Chopra.
So even though a million dollars are at stake and some of wonderful players are in action; the Indian Open isn't making the splash it should be.
Maybe the scheduling could be better next time around.
