Glenn McGrath told the method to dismiss Virat Kohli, will the Australian team adopt this tactic?
A five-match Test series is to be played between India and Australia. The first match of this series will be played in Perth, Australia on 22 November. Team India is fully prepared for this. Team India players are present in Australia and are working hard. Virat Kohli will be the biggest challenge for the Australian team during this series. Getting Virat Kohli out is going to be a big task for Australia. Meanwhile, Australia’s great fast bowler Glenn McGrath has revealed a special plan for Virat Kohli.
According to Glenn McGrath, Virat Kohli is an emotional player and he has requested the Australian team to keep a close eye on Virat during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. McGrath believes that the former Indian captain is under a lot of pressure at the moment and if he scores low in the beginning of this series, it can have a negative impact on his game.
What did McGrath say?
Fox Cricket quoted McGrath on Code Sports as saying that if Australia puts pressure on Virat, if he struggles due to emotions, then there will be a discussion on whether he can do well in this series. He further said that but I think he is probably under a bit of pressure, and if his early scores are low, he can really feel it. I think he is a very emotional player. When he is in his form, he is on top, and when he is not in form, he struggles a bit.
McGrath encouraged Australia to put constant pressure on Team India from the beginning to see how prepared they are for the match. McGrath said that there is no doubt, especially after the 3-0 defeat against New Zealand, you have enough weapons to strengthen yourself. So put pressure on them and see if they are ready for it.
Victory is necessary for Team India
To reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship, Team India will have to win this series by at least 4-0. Which will not be an easy task for Team India. In the points table of this tournament, Indian team is at second place with 58.33% PCT, but Team India’s second place is also in danger. Australia, on the other hand, is on top with 62.50 PCT and is leading the race to make it to the WTC final for the second consecutive time.
