Border Gavaskar Trophy Match
In 20 Test matches against Australia, Kohli has 1682 runs scored at an average of 48.06. He has seven centuries in their favour. When the Kangaroos last came to town in 2017, the righthander, though, found it difficult to overcome them. He played Kohli in three tests and only managed to score 46 runs at an average of 9.20. In the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy, former India coach Ravi Shastri predicts that if star batsman Virat Kohli can get off to a strong start in the first two innings, he will be a pain in the Australians’ side.
Shastri remarked, “His (Kohli’s) record versus Australia would urge him on,” during a virtual news conference run by Star Sports. Being fired up, he would want to get off to a strong start. His first two innings are worth examining. Aussies would find him annoying if he gets off to a good start. It’s safe to say that he would want that to occur.
Shastri stated: “Kohli has an average of little under 50 versus Australia.” When referring to the batter’s performance against the Australians. He should definitely get going given that record, which is amazing.

In 20 Test matches against Australia, Kohli has amassed 1682 runs at an average of 48.06 runs per innings. The odds are seven centuries in his favour.
But during the recent 2017 Kangaroos tour here, the right-hander found it difficult to overcome them. Kohli only managed to score 46 runs, averaging 9.20, in the three Test matches he participated in.
Kohli has only played in 23 Tests since his previous 100 in Test match cricket in 2019, averaging 23.60. When questioned about whether Kohli’s recent propensity for red ball cricket might work against him, Shastri said, “I don’t think so.” Who in the Indian side has recently played a lot of red-ball cricket, Shastri shot back.

The Indian squad may explore using all four spinners, including Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja, according to reports from the Indian camp amid rumours that the surface will be a rank turner.
In order to prepare for the Indian spin contingent, Australia decided without playing any exhibition games and had their training camp at Alur in Bangalore instead.
Since 2015, the Australians haven’t triumphed over India in a Test series. India, on the other hand, has a chance to overcome Australia and get to the World Test Championship final.
