The Indian team is going to face Australia in a few days in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, set to begin November 22. Virat Kohli is the player who has the main spotlight on him for a long time. As Kohli is making headlines in Australian newspapers, the hype around the star batter has been above the skies.
Kohli has been recently facing difficulty in finding his form in Tests. He had had a particular difficult year, as he scored just 250 runs at an average of 22.72 in six Tests. However, his performance has continuously proven that he can overpower the opposition and adjust to Australian conditions.
Virat Kohli needs 350 runs to go over Ricky Ponting and become the third-highest run-scorer in international cricket. the first and second positions are secured by Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara, respectively.
To become the Indian batter with the most Test centuries in Australia, Kohli needs to add just one more century in his total. Sachin Tendulkar and Kohli are currently tied up on six Test centuries in Australia.
Taking in consideration that Rohit Sharma will be absent in the series opener of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli’s efforts will be of utmost importance for the Indian team. As the focus will be on the star batter as, he will try his best to lead the lineup and give a solid response to the critics.
