A turning point in Virat Kohli’s career is the forthcoming Test series in Australia, where the former Indian captain will be closely watched. Concerns have been raised regarding Kohli’s form, as he has only registered three hundred in the last five years.
To put it mildly, Kohli’s performance in the recent home series against New Zealand was lackluster. Kohli only managed 93 runs at an average of 15.50, as India was thrashed 0–3. Concerns were raised about his capacity to recover after this, which was his lowest average in a home series in seven years.
The whole world will be watching Kohli’s performance as he travels to Australia. For the batting icon, the series is crucial, and he needs to regain his scoring ability to appease his detractors. Kohli’s form will be vital as India looks to get back on track. Can he take on the task and produce a series that people will remember? The cricket community eagerly awaits.
