The Border-Gavaskar Trophy that begins between India and Australia will be very important for some players. There will be tough competition between the two teams in every match of the series and many players will play an important role, but there will be more eyes on those players whose careers this series can prove decisive. At the top of this list is Virat Kohli, who is going through a bad time and doubts are being raised about his future. Now, just before the Test series, a famous Australian commentator tried to provoke Kohli by calling him weak.
Despite poor form, there is much debate in Australia
Virat Kohli’s bat was completely silent in the Test series against New Zealand. In the 6 innings of the 3 Test matches of the series, Virat’s bat only scored a half-century, while in the entire series he could only score 93 runs. Earlier he had also failed in the series against Bangladesh. The Indian team had to face a crushing 0-3 defeat against New Zealand, after which doubts were raised about the career of many players, including Kohli, and there is a danger of being dropped from the team if they fail to tour Australia. .
Despite this, before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy he was talked about in all the Australian media and every day in different newspapers in that country large photographs of Kohli were used along with adjectives like “King”, “God”, ” GOAT”. It has been. Despite this, there is talk about Virat’s form, but what former Australian all-rounder and famous commentator Kerry O’Keefe has said about Virat, hardly anyone has said in the entire Australia these days.
Trying to make fun of Kohli!
While speaking to Australian website Fox.com.au, O’Keefe spoke about the Indian team and during this, when Virat was mentioned, he made a statement mocking and provoking Kohli. O’Keefe said: “Kohli has been a brilliant player and has caused Australia problems for many years, but it often happens in sports that when the king of the jungle weakens, you mock him loudly.”
However, he is also aware of Kohli’s ability and hence he also said that if this series is great for Kohli then team India can also win. O’Keefe said he would like to see how Kohli performs in the current conditions. As for Kohli’s performance, the former Indian captain scored 1352 runs in 13 Tests, averaging 54 in Australia, in which he scored 6 centuries and 4 half-centuries.
