IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli loves to dominate Australia from the onset – Kohli first played against Australia in the T20I format on February 1, 2012. He scored 22 and 31 runs in his two games against them. The right-hand batter’s most memorable knock against the Men in Yellow came in Adelaide wherein he scored an unbeaten 90. Since that knock, Kohli has not looked back and has been instrumental in taking the onus on himself to win games.
The 33-year-old also scored 82 in the quarterfinal of the 2016 T20 World against Australia, which ensured a win for India. Kohli’s majority of runs against World Chmpions have come while chasing. To stop the Indian superstar will be a tough task for the visitors. Kohli has returned to form by slamming a majestic 122 against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. He was also the second highest run-scorer in the Asia Cup scoring over 200 runs.
To stop Kohli, the Aaron Finch-led side need to scalp his wicket early. If they don’t do it, then the World Champions will be hunting for leather.
