Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli: The first Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia will be played on November 22. But even before this, an unofficial intra-team match took place between the Indian players. Indian team’s superstar batsman Virat Kohli couldn’t do well here. As it was an unofficial Test match, he came out to bat twice. But he couldn’t score big even in the two innings combined.
Off the ball by Mukesh Kumar
When Virat Kohli came to bat first, he looked in good form and played a lot of excellent knocks. But he was out bowled by fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, when he had scored 15 runs. After this he practiced for about half an hour on the nearby nets. After this, when he returned to bat, he batted for an hour before scoring 30 runs. Thus, even after batting twice, he could only score 45 runs.
Obtained more than 1300 tests in Australia
Virat Kohli is counted among the great players in the world. He has won many games for the team on his own. Whenever he bats in Australia, Team India’s victory is certain. He has scored a total of 1352 runs while playing 13 Test matches against Australia on Australian soil, including 6 centuries. During this period his highest score has been 169 runs. But the poor form since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is raising everyone’s concern.
