BGT series starting from 22nd November Virat Kohli Image Credit- Twitter Everyone is eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) starting from 22nd November. However, despite former Indian captain Virat Kohli being out of form before this series, former Australian opener David Warner is worried about Australia. Warner says that Kohli is going to come forward during this series, because Kohli gives his best against Australia in Australia. However, for your information, let us tell you that the 36-year-old experienced player is currently struggling with poor form in red ball cricket. In the last five years, Kohli has scored only 3 centuries in the biggest format of the game, whereas in the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand, Kohli had scored only 93 runs in 6 innings. India had to face 3-0 defeat in this series. David Warner gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of BGT between Australia and India, in his column written for Herald Sun, Warner said – I am worried about Virat Kohli, but not for the same reasons as everyone else. After India’s crushing 3-0 Test series defeat to New Zealand this month, people want to write off Virat, but I am really worried for Australia. This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we know Virat always steps up in Australia and takes on that challenge completely like almost no one else has. I am really worried for the Australian cricket team that he (Kohli) is going to come out and score some runs.

(Photo Source: Twitter) In the last few years, the performance of Team India’s legendary batsman Virat Kohli in Test cricket has not been that good. His form remains a matter of tension for Team India. India has to play the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia from 22nd November and if India has to perform well in this series, it is very important for Virat to be in form. Virat’s performance in Australia so far has been excellent and it is expected that in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat will regain his lost form in Test cricket. Earlier in the three-day intra squad match, Virat had come out to bat twice on the first day and now he will be desperate to score runs in this series. Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement on Virat Kohli’s form Former Team India cricketer and BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly has said that he will be very surprised if Virat is not able to score runs in this Test series. In an interview given to RevSports, when Sourav Ganguly was asked about Virat Kohli’s form, he said, ‘He is a champion player, his ODI figures are better, his 2014 series was dangerous, his record in Australia has been strong. . He has about 6 test centuries in Australia. We have to admit that he is not getting younger with time. The game is different at the age of 28-29, 30 and it is different at the age of 36-37. But he will be ready for this series, he knows he has been successful here, his game is still great and there is no doubt about that and the most important thing is that he will be playing on good pitches. The wicket will be fast, there will be pace on it, there will be bounce, there will be seam movement with the Kookaburra ball. So this will be a good series for him and I will be very surprised if this series is not good for him. Five Test matches is a lot, I think this series will be very good for him.
Is Suryakumar Yadav’s T20I form a matter of concern? Aakash Chopra before the fourth T20 match against South Africa
The fourth T20 match between South Africa and India will be played today on 15 November at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Aakash Chopra and Suryakumar Yadav (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is currently on South Africa tour, where the T20 series between the two teams is going on. So the last match of this series will be played today, Friday, 15 November, at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. However, before the start of this match, former Indian cricket team opener and well-known cricket commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement regarding the form of Suryakumar Yadav. It is noteworthy that Surya’s performance this year has been full of ups and downs in the shortest format of the game. So in the last three matches played against South Africa, he has been able to score only 26 runs. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Before the fourth T20 match to be held between South Africa and India in Johannesburg, through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – Is Suryakumar Yadav’s T20I form a matter of concern? Why are people asking this question, is this a problem? Let’s go over his numbers. In 2021, his average was 34 and strike rate was 155, he played only 11 innings. In the year 2022, Suryakumar Yadav scored 1164 runs at an average of 46 and strike rate of 187. In 2023, he scored 733 runs at an average of around 49 and there also his strike rate is 155. Surya played well. However, there have been 17 innings in 2024 in which he has scored only 429 runs. The strike rate is still above 150, but the average has become 26.8, he has definitely scored four half-centuries, but in terms of average, it is not like Surya of old. On the other hand, if we talk about this series, the Men in Blue have a 2-1 lead over the host team. It will be worth watching how captain Surya is going to perform in the last match of this series?
BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”
Team India’s clean sweep for the second time within 15 days, Team India’s poor form continues before BGT.

This five-match Test series is starting from 22 November in Perth. Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, former Australian captain Ian Chappell has given a big statement about the Indian team’s experienced batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you that both these players have been struggling with very poor form for some time. However, it is very important for these two players to give important performances for Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. This five-match Test series is starting from 22 November in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win about four matches of this Test series. According to Ian Chappell, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may face a lot of trouble in Australian conditions. Ian Chappell said, ‘The only thing I would like to say is that Team India is coming after losing the Test series against Australia and New Zealand. The pitch in Australia is very good and extra bounce will also be seen there. It is very important for the batsmen of Team India to understand this thing. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may have to face problems due to extra bounce. Team India will need maximum runs from its best player: Mark Taylor Ian Chappell further said about Team India, ‘The performance of the team’s batsmen has been disappointing. I think Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good young player and apart from him, Shubman Gill can also perform well. But you have Kohli and Rohit Sharma who have a lot of experience and at this time when people are talking so much about them, I think they can be seen performing well in the upcoming series. Regarding this, former player Mark Taylor said, ‘Team India has moved ahead with Pujara and Rahane. They have all Rohit and Kohli who are the best players in the world but the team is going through a very difficult situation at the moment and this has put pressure on the young players and also on the lower order players. You have to try to score as many runs as possible from your best player but this has not been seen at all from Team India in the last 12 to 18 months.

‘I haven’t seen Virat like him since the 2018 series’, Marnus Labuschagne on Kohli’s poor form
To reach the WTC final, Team India will have to win the BGT series 4-0. Marnus Labuschagne and Virat Kohli Virat Kohli is performing poorly with the bat at the moment. He is struggling to score runs continuously. He has not scored a century in Tests since the West Indies tour in 2023. Even in the recent Bangladesh and New Zealand series, he could not do anything special. He could score only 93 runs in the three-Test series against New Zealand. In the New Zealand series, all the Indian batsmen were seen struggling against spin. Kohli was also struggling to counter the spin. Indian veterans have also given him suggestions and advice on his poor batting. Meanwhile, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne recalled Kohli’s performance in 2018. He also said that the batsmen are missing the same performance. Labuschagne told Star Sports, my first memory of Virat from a sporting perspective was probably the 2018 series. He was the captain at that time and I think he was very intense. When I watched the series, it was a very intense series. I probably haven’t seen Virat like that after that series. He has been doing well for a long time, but this is my first memory. BGT will have to win 4-0 to reach WTC finals It is noteworthy that after the defeat at the hands of New Zealand on home soil, the Indian team is going to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. India has never lost a BGT series since 2016–17. They have won the series on both occasions since 2016. The BGT 2024-25 series is very important for India, because to reach the World Test Championship final, Team India will have to win this series 4-0. That means it is very important to win at least 4 out of five matches. Currently, Australia is on top in the WTC points table followed by India at second place.
Out of form, Virat Kohli got Sunil Gavaskar’s support, former player gave a surprising statement before BGT 2024
According to Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli does not have any problem and luck is not favoring him at this time. Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli. (Image Source: ICC/Twitter) The performance of Indian team’s best batsman Virat Kohli has been very poor for some time. The experienced batsman had failed to bat brilliantly in the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand. This is the reason why New Zealand won the three-match Test series played against Team India by 3-0. However, now Team India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia, which is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before the start of this Test series, former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar has presented his side regarding Virat Kohli. According to Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli does not have any problem and luck is not favoring him at this time. According to Sports Tak, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Virat Kohli does not have any problem. Just this time luck is not on their side. We had seen how he batted in Bengaluru. His technique and art are right, he just needs luck at this time. Five-match test series between India and Australia starting from 22nd November If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the five-match Test series against Australia by a long margin. Virat Kohli failed to leave his mark in the Test series played against New Zealand. He was seen struggling a lot against the spinners. However, the experienced batsman would like to perform brilliantly against Australia and can be seen playing an important role in the victory of the Indian team. Currently, Team India is practicing vigorously for the upcoming Test series. If the Indian team loses the five-match Test series against Australia, then it will be very difficult for them to make it to the final of the World Test Championship.
