Australia is scared of this player from Team India, who will destroy everything if he goes.

The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia is just a few hours away. The competition will start from the morning of Friday i.e. November 22. Meanwhile, where on one hand the team is busy making its strategy for the first match of the series, on the other hand some former players are also expressing their opinions. Even though the Australian team is playing at home, they have a lot of fear going into the series. Virat Kohli in particular is a batsman who has the ability to destroy Australia’s bowling if he gets his way.

Avoid getting into trouble with Kohli, said Shane Watson

Rohit Sharma will miss the first Test in Perth. In such a situation, former captain Virat Kohli’s responsibility is going to increase even more. Virat Kohli has visited Australia many times before and has scored many runs there. Australia fears that Kohli may not return to the same brilliant form for which he is known and recognized all over the world. Meanwhile, ahead of the series, one of Australia’s greatest players, Shane Watson, has given advice to his team. Shane Watson has asked the Australian team not to get into trouble with Virat Kohli in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he believes the passion with which Kohli plays when provoked brings out the best in him. Australia have mostly suffered from Kohli’s provocation and Watson has experienced it himself.

Ian Healy explained the strategy to the Australian team

Not only this, former legendary Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy wants the Australian bowler to use every method to dismiss Virat Kohli, including short-pitched balls to target his body with balls on his front foot. Healy said that he is looking at the first matchup to see how our fast bowlers can bowl to Virat Kohli. Healy said that our bowlers should avoid using this strategy for long as it will make them understand our plan.

What are Virat Kohli’s Test stats in Australia?

Virat Kohli is currently out of form. However, talking about Australia, Kohli’s bat speaks against this team. Kohli has played 13 Tests in Australia since 2011 and during this time he has scored 6 centuries and 4 half-centuries. During this period he averaged 54.08 and scored 1352 runs with his bat. Kohli is touring Australia for the fifth time for a Test. He will be looking to repeat what he did in the 2014-15 Test series. That year, Virat Kohli scored 692 runs at an average of 86.50 with four centuries and one half-century in four Tests.
