Australia's main fast bowler Pat Cummins dismissed former captain Michael Clarke's claims that his team's low aggression against India in 2018-19 was not to save IPL contracts but to win fans' hearts. The Australian team's series against India was the second Test series after ball tampering. Steve Smith and David Warner were suspended in this episode. Cummins said, "I think the media and everyone was commenting on the Australian cricket team six months before the series against India, so that the team was quite clear about the forward direction that there would be less aggression on the field."

Clarke's claims rejected: However, he did not completely dismiss Clarke's claim that some players were not pressurizing Indian captain Virat Kohli for fear of losing the IPL contract. He said, "I would say that this could be a bigger reason than trying to make friends or lose on the field, but you can't say that some players can have this reason too."

Tim Paine had said this: Australian Test captain Tim Paine also dismissed Clarke's claims. He said, 'I don't know who was bowling easily for him, we certainly did not want to do any kind of fight by provoking him, because we thought that he would do his best.' India has to tour Australia from October 2020 to January 2021 in which it has to play four Tests, three One-Day and three T20 Internationals.
