The Indian team has reached Australian soil for the third consecutive time with the intention of winning the Test series. To do this, the players are working hard in Perth. The series will also be very important from the World Test Championship point of view. But Virat Kohli’s form is a cause of concern for the Indian team. He has been able to score runs with an average of just 20 in the last 10 innings. Despite this, ahead of the match starting in Perth, Kohli remains the topic of discussion in the opposition team. The Kangaroo team does not take this lightly. The reason behind this was his excellent performance in Australia. Therefore, the Australian players have prepared some special plans to keep them quiet. Mitchell Marsh has even threatened Kohli to keep his bat quiet.
Marsh plans to remove Kohli
Virat Kohli has not been fit for some time now. But Australia has been one of his favorite places and teams. There he scored 1353 runs in 13 matches at an average of 54.08, which included 6 centuries and 4 fifties. Mitchell Marsh looked at his record and told him about the plan to get him out soon.
Marsh said before the Perth Test that if Kohli was not out until 30 runs, he would try to provoke him by hitting him on the shoulder so that he would lose his wicket. His partner Marnus Labuschagne told a different plan. He said stopping Virat from scoring big would be taking him out of his comfort zone and forcing him to change his game. If given the opportunity to play, he becomes a very dangerous player.
The old no longer exists in Virat.
Some Australian players believe that Virat Kohli is no longer that old man. He is no longer as dangerous as before, he was always ready to fight. According to Australian opener Usman Khawaja, Kohli has changed now and can be mocked. However, he definitely admitted that he can still score runs.
Fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who was Virat’s teammate in the IPL, said Australia’s left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc said he is very much looking forward to a new “battle” against him again. He said that he will not try to provoke Virat, he will just talk to him with his bowling.
