Australia is scared of this player of Team India
The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia is now just a few hours away. The competition will start from the morning of Friday i.e. 22nd November. Meanwhile, while on one hand the teams are busy making their strategies 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 still have a lot of fear about the series. Especially Virat Kohli is the batsman who, if he gets his way, has the ability to devastate Australia’s bowling.
Shane Watson said, avoid getting into trouble with Kohli
Rohit Sharma will not be there in the first Test to be played in Perth. In such a situation, the responsibility of former captain Virat Kohli is going to increase even more. Virat Kohli has visited Australia many times before and has scored a lot of runs there. Australia fears that the same great form of Kohli may not return again, for which he is known and recognized all over the world. Meanwhile, before the series, Shane Watson, who was one of the great players of Australia, has given advice to his team. Shane Watson has asked the Australian team to avoid getting 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 has mostly had to bear the brunt of Kohli’s provoking and Watson himself has experienced it.
Ian Healy told the strategy to the Australian team
Not only this, Australia’s former legendary wicketkeeper Ian Healy wants the Australian bowler to adopt every method to dismiss Virat Kohli, which includes bowling the ball on his front foot to targeting his body with short-pitched balls. Healy said the first matchup they are looking at is how our fast bowlers can bowl to Virat Kohli. Healy said that our bowlers should avoid using this strategy for too long because by this they will understand our plan.
How are Virat Kohli’s test statistics in Australia?
Virat Kohli is currently in out-of-form form. However, if we talk about Australia, Kohli’s bat speaks volumes against this team. Kohli has played 13 Tests in Australia since 2011 and during this period he has scored 6 centuries and 4 half-centuries. During this period, his average has been 54.08 and he has scored 1352 runs with his bat. Kohli is on Australia tour for the fifth time for Test. His effort will be to repeat the work he did in the Test series of 2014-15. That year, Virat Kohli scored 692 runs in four Tests at an average of 86.50 with four centuries and one half-century.
