Virat Kohli ind vs aus News

Kohli could manage only 190 runs in his nine innings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, repeatedly offering edges to the slip cordon or keeper.

Virat had a great start in the series as he notched up a century in the first Test in Perth but failed to continue his momentum in the remaining games.

Madan Lal believes the run-out incident weighed on Kohli's mind, leading to a lapse in concentration.

Konstas was batting on 27 when the entire incident took place and he then went on to smash two fours and a six in the next over, bowled by Jasprit Bumrah.  

Virat Kohli batted well in the second innings of the first Test that was held in Perth against Australia as he made a century. But then after that, he failed to make an impact with the bat.

Mitchell Starc ended the innings by taking six wickets, dismissing the likes of KL Rahul (37 off 64) and Virat Kohli (7 off 8) in quick succession.

In a total of 43 games in Australia, Virat has collected 2710 runs at an average of 54.20 with a top score of 169 back in December 2014 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Talking to the broadcasters after his hundred, Kohli mentioned his wife Anushka Sharma for supporting him through thick and thin, and Shastri knew it must be an emotional moment for him.

This year, he has averaged only 22.72 across six Tests, and in the three games against New Zealand, he could manage only 93 runs.

But Shastri has warned Australia and said Kohli is back in the country where he loves to bat and score runs.

The former Australia skipper's bold remarks came after India lost the home Test series against New Zealand where Kohli had a below-average run.
