New Delhi: Social media was buzzing after Virat Kohli stepped into Australia for the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024. Australia has been the favourite hunting ground for King Kohli, having registered staggering figures in red-ball cricket against the Aussies.
Despite his dry spell with runs, Virat Kohli has been considered the biggest threat to Australia despite the playing conditions. However, many are questioning Kohli’s form after India’s shocking whitewash at home against New Zealand where the former captain scored just 93 runs in six innings.
