Virat Kohli has a golden opportunity
Virat Kohli’s record in Border Gavaskar Trophy: The India vs Australia Test series i.e. Border Gavaskar Trophy is once again around the corner. A strategy between the two sides is being considered. The discussion about playing with the eleven also continues. Captain Rohit Sharma will not be present in the first match of the series, so the responsibility of leading the team will fall more on Virat Kohli. He is the oldest player on the team. In such a situation, if Kohli’s bat works, it will not only devastate the Australian attack but the rest of the team will also be inspired to perform better.
Border Gavaskar Series: These players have scored more than 2 thousand runs
Not only India but also Australian fans and players will be keeping an eye on Virat Kohli in the Border Gavaskar Series. Kohli has a chance to do something in this series so that his name can also be included in the list of great Indian players who have achieved this feat. In this come the names of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
Border Gavaskar Series was played for the first time in the year 1996.
Actually, the Border Gavaskar Trophy was started in the year 1996. Since then, only three Indian players have been able to score more than 2,000 runs. In this, Sachin Tendulkar’s name comes first. He has scored 3262 runs playing 34 matches in the Border Gavaskar Series. Talking about VVS Laxman, he scored 2434 runs in 29 matches. While Rahul Dravid has scored 2143 runs playing 32 matches in the Border Gavaskar Series.
Virat Kohli needs 21 runs
So far, Virat Kohli has managed to score 1979 runs by playing 24 matches in the Border Gavaskar Series. If he scores 21 more runs, he will also become the first Indian batsman to score 2000 runs. However, Kohli is not only expecting as many runs but also big innings so that Team India can march towards victory. Kohli’s average in the Border Gavaskar series is 48.26. He scores runs at a strike rate of 52.25. So far he has scored 8 centuries and 5 half-centuries. It remains to be seen how Virat Kohli performs in the first Test to be held in Perth.
