The Indian team has reached Australian soil for the third consecutive time with the intention of winning the Test series. For this, the players are working hard in Perth. The series is also going to be very important from the point of view of the World Test Championship. But Virat Kohli’s form is a matter of concern for Team India. He has been able to score runs at an average of only 20 in the last 10 innings. Despite this, before the match starting in Perth, Kohli remains the topic of discussion in the opposing team. The Kangaroo team is not taking him lightly. The reason behind this was his excellent performance in Australia. Therefore, Australian players have prepared some special plans to keep them silent. Mitchell Marsh has even threatened Kohli to keep his bat quiet.
Marsh plans to get Kohli out
Virat Kohli is not in form for some time now. But Australia has been one of his favorite places and teams. There he scored 1353 runs in 13 matches at an average of 54.08, which included 6 centuries and 4 fifties. Looking at his record, Mitchell Marsh planned to get him out soon.
Marsh said before the Perth Test that if Kohli was not out till 30 runs, he would try to provoke him by hitting him on the shoulder so that he loses his wicket. His teammate Marnus Labuschagne told a different plan. He said that to stop Virat from scoring big would be to take him out of his comfort zone and force him to change his game. If he is given a chance to play, he becomes a very dangerous player.
The old thing is no more in Virat
Some Australian players believe that Virat Kohli is no longer that old man. He is not as dangerous as before, who was always ready to fight. According to Australian opener Usman Khawaja, Kohli has changed now and he can be made fun of. However, he definitely admitted that he can still score runs.
Fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who was Virat’s teammate in the IPL, said that Australia’s left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc said that he is very eager for a new ‘battle’ against him again. He said that he will not try to provoke Virat, he will just talk to him with his bowling.
