IND Vs AUS, Virat Kohli: The Indian Test team is currently on Australia tour. Where the team is going to play a 5-match test series against Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The first match of the series will be played in Perth from 22 November. Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has an excellent record against Australia. The Kangaroo team is becoming very worried about this. In such a situation, many veteran players including former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy and Shane Watson have started advising their bowlers to dismiss Kohli. He did so and started telling about various plans.

Ian Healy told the technique to dismiss Kohli
According to former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy, Australian bowlers should use all techniques to dismiss Virat Kohli. In which the bowler has to use all the techniques from throwing the ball on his front foot to targeting his body with short pitched balls. Kohli has been struggling in Test matches for some time. He has scored only 2 centuries and 11 fifties in his last 60 Test innings.

Healy advised the strong trio of Australian fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc to put pressure on Kohli. “Our fast bowlers should continue to target Virat Kohli on his front pad,” Healy said. Kohli uses his front foot a lot. And from there the ball can be played from anywhere.

Shane Watson gave this advice

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has also given advice to his team. He said, ‘The passion with which Virat plays every ball in the match is amazing. But recently there have been moments when this fire within him has started to extinguish. Because it is very difficult to maintain the same intensity in every moment of the match. Here the Australian team should leave him alone and hope that his passion remains calm.

Kohli’s excellent record against Australia

Virat Kohli has played a total of 13 test matches so far on Australian soil. In which he has scored 1352 runs at an average of 54.08. Meanwhile, Kohli scored 6 centuries and 4 half-centuries. Kohli’s best test score in Australia has been 169 runs. Kohli was also the leading run-scorer for India in Test matches during the 2011–12 and 2014–15 tours of Australia.
