Australia is afraid of this Indian team player
The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia is now just a few hours away. The competition will begin from Friday morning i.e. November 22. 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. Although the Australian team is playing at home, they are still very afraid of 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 in the first Test to be played in Perth. In such a situation, former captain Virat Kohli’s responsibility will increase further. Virat Kohli has visited Australia many times before and has scored many runs there. Australia fears that Kohli will not regain the great form for which he is known and recognized around the world. Meanwhile, ahead of the series, Shane Watson, who was one of Australia’s great players, 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 had to bear the brunt of Kohli’s provocations and Watson himself has experienced it.
Ian Healy told the Australian team the strategy
Not only this, Australia’s former legendary wicketkeeper Ian Healy wants the Australian bowler to adopt all methods to dismiss Virat Kohli, which include bowling the ball off the 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 players should avoid using this strategy for too long because then they will understand our plan.
What are Virat Kohli’s Test stats like in Australia?
Virat Kohli is currently out of 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 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 touring Australia for the fifth time for Test. His effort will be to repeat the work he did in the 2014-15 Test series. That year, Virat Kohli scored 692 runs in four Tests at an average of 86.50 with four centuries and a half-century.
