‘He starts his average from zero’ Matthew Hayden ignores Virat Kohli’s recent Test form
Virat was able to score only 93 runs in 6 innings against New Zealand. Matthew Hayden and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has given a big statement about former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Ignoring Kohli’s recent Test form, Hayden has said that he is going to perform well in the BGT series. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Kohli’s bat seems to be calm in the biggest format of the game. In the last 12 innings played in Test cricket, Kohli has scored a total of 250 runs at a modest average of 22.72. However, if Team India has to do better in the first match in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma, then Kohli will have to come forward and perform. He starts his average from zero: Matthew Hayden Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Cricket Australia before the start of BGT, Hayden said – Naturally, there should be the hunger that Virat always brings in any kind of competition, and in the history of Test match cricket, it should be more than this. There is no one bigger. He is in the team that has dominated Australia on its own soil for almost a decade. This is an important factor for the place where he has worked really hard. A lot of his impact on the game can be seen not only with the bat in his hand, but also in his confidence in the competition and his fitness level. Hayden further said- So Virat has a lot to play for. Unfortunately, he has not been able to continue his excellent form in recent times. But this season is new and he starts his average from zero. We all know that he is capable of averaging over 50. He is the second greatest player in his country after Sachin Tendulkar. So, I wish him all the best.

“Virat Kohli’s career 2027…”, astrologer makes big prediction about Indian star batsman
Virat Kohli’s best phase is yet to come – Astrologer Greenstone Lobo Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian veteran player Virat Kohli could not perform much in the last home Test series against New Zealand. However, fans and cricket experts believe that in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, great innings will be seen from Kohli’s bat. Meanwhile, the famous astrologer has made a big prediction regarding King Kohli. Astrologer Greenstone Lobo studied Virat’s horoscope and predicted that the star batsman is going to continue his illustrious career till at least 2027. Virat Kohli can overtake Gavaskar-Rahul Dravid Astrologer Greenstone Lobo’s analysis shows an optimistic picture for Virat Kohli’s future, adding that influential planetary positions in his horoscope will propel him to stronger performances. The astrologer also pointed out that, it may be challenging to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 Test centuries, but Kohli can still surpass the records of legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid. Greenstone Lobo while talking on StarPlay: Cricket & Astrology said, Virat Kohli’s best phase is yet to come. Does this mean that Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record? Probably not. His record of more than 49 (51) Test centuries is very high. So perhaps it will be difficult for him to achieve this, but then Virat Kohli can definitely surpass Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid. He is not really worried about numbers, his focus is on winning and that is exactly what he is going to do for India.” Virat Kohli will perform well in Australia Astrologer Greenstone Lobo is confident that Virat Kohli’s luck will change as planets like Uranus and Neptune are in the right position in his horoscope. Lobo’s last prediction was about Kohli’s career. According to the astrologer, Kohli is expected to play till 2027, which is two years from now, and that includes big tournaments like the Champions Trophy, ODI World Cup and the World Test Championship. He is going to perform brilliantly as Uranus, which has been weakened in the last few months, is going to come back into exaltation on November 15 exactly and it is going to remain there throughout the tournament. One important thing that I can say (for now) is that Virat Kohli is definitely going to play some very interesting roles in Australia. So, for all the fans of Virat Kohli, let me tell you one thing. I assure you of one thing. Virat Kohli will play at least till 2027.
‘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.
