The king is back in town! The Australian media hasn’t left a single stone unturned in hyping Virat Kohli’s arrival, putting him in the front page of newspapers, making him the poster boy and what not. And the man has started his preparation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at the historic WACA Ground. Alongside him were the other main batters, including the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Shubman Gill.
Virat Kohli leads India’s practice
According to ESPNcricinfo writer Tristan Lavalette, Kohli was made to test against back-of-a-length deliveries, with the former Indian captain looking to get used to the bouncy Perth track. The Perth Stadium will kickstart a new chapter in the India vs Australia rivalry, starting from November 22.
Focus on Kohli
Kohli comes in Australia on the back of a horrendous form. In fact, he has endured his career-worst form so far. Across 25 innings in international cricket, Kohli has managed to score just 488 runs at a poor average of 20.33, which is his lowest in any year. Moreover, these stats don’t include a single century, and just two fifties. Nevertheless, the BGT come at an all-important juncture for Kohli, who would love to get his mojo back. Much like every great batter, Kohli enjoys batting Down Under as he has smashed 1,352 runs at an incredible average of over 54 in Australia.
