The Indian team is to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia on November 22. All cricket lovers are eagerly waiting for the start of this series. Team India has reached Perth to play the first match and has also started practice. At the same time, statements of many of their former players along with the Australian media are constantly coming out regarding this Test series, in which they are targeting Virat Kohli a lot and the biggest reason for this is Kohli’s excellent record in Tests against Australia, but at present his form is not good, due to which everyone’s eyes are going to be on Kohli’s performance. Now a statement of former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has come out regarding Kohli, in which he has also warned the Australian team not to take Virat Kohli lightly.
The king is returning to his territory.
Talking about Virat Kohli in the ICC review show, Ravi Shastri said that I would like to say this much about Australia that the king is coming back to his field. You look at Kohli’s record in Australia and when he comes out to bat, this thing will also be in the mind of the Kangaroo team. I think the first few innings of this series are going to be very important for Kohli because his patience will be very important in the first half-hour of batting. If he can stay calm and play at his own pace instead of hurrying, then I think everything will be fine.
Kohli’s excellent record will put pressure on the Australian team.
Virat Kohli always likes to play against Australia in any format and his record in Tests has also been excellent. While Kohli has scored 2042 runs in 44 innings of 25 Tests against the Kangaroo team, if we look at his Test record in Australia, he has scored 1352 runs in just 25 innings at an average of 54.08. However, Kohli’s bat is currently silent, in which he was able to score only 93 runs in 6 innings in the Test series played at home against New Zealand.
