India’s ace batter Virat Kohli has recently been under the scanner. Kohli has been out of touch and put up a disastrous performance in the recently concluded IND vs NZ Test series. But former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has put his faith in Kohli claiming that he is confident that the star batter will score runs in Australia.
The next assignment for the India Cricket Team is the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy. A lot of things are at stake for Team India, especially the WTC Standings. A 4-0 win is needed by the visitors to make it to the WTC Finals and for that to happen, Virat Kohli has to be at his very best of form.
Sunil Gavaskar puts his trust on Virat Kohli
“I’m confident that Virat Kohli will score a lot of runs in Australia,” Sunil Gavaskar told Sports Tak. In the last 6 innings, Kohli has managed just one fifty-plus score against the Kiwis. Apart from that 70-run knock, Kohli has managed 4 single-digit scores, making it difficult for himself and the team.
For India to make it to the World Test Championship (WTC) Finals, India needs to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy 4-0 without having to rely on the results of other teams.
However, there is one thing that works in favour of Virat Kohli, is his incredible stats in Australia. So far in Down Under, Kohli has played 13 Test matches where he has raked up 1352 runs with 6 tons and 4 fifties to his name. And with the 5-Test matches extremely crucial, one can expect Virat Kohli to unleash his carnage against the formidable foe.
