The Indian team is scheduled to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia from November 22. All the 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. Statements from the Australian media as well as from many of his former players are constantly coming out regarding this Test series, in which they are targeting Virat Kohli a lot and the biggest reason for this is that Kohli’s excellent record in Tests against Australia is not going well at the moment which is why his form is not going well. All eyes are on Kohli’s performance. Now a statement of former 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
Ravi Shastri while talking about Virat Kohli on ICC’s review show said that I want to say about Australia that the king is returning to his ground. You look at Kohli’s record in Australia and this will be on the mind of the Kangaroos team when he comes out to bat. I think the first few innings of this series will be very important for Kohli as 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 running I think everything will be fine.
Kohli’s brilliant record will put pressure on the Australian team
Virat Kohli always prefers to play against Australia in any format and his record in Tests too has 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 has been quiet at the moment, managing just 93 runs in 6 innings in the Test series against New Zealand at home.
