He needs to do this. I want to see them like that again. He will return to his rhythm after coming to Australia. It depends on how he starts and for Australia it is the same as Steve Smith. Don’t underestimate these players – if they perform well in the first two or three innings, they can dominate the series. Virat Kohli has scored at an average of only 32 since the beginning of 2020 and has scored only two centuries in the last 60 Test innings.

BGT 2024-25: Michael Vaughan asked a sharp question, asked who will be India’s Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri in Australia this time?
The much awaited BGT series is starting from 22nd November Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan has recently given a big statement before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Vaughan says that only if Team India adopts an aggressive approach from the beginning and is successful in pushing Australia on the backfoot, then only it can save this series. Vaughan also said that when India won the Test series in Australia for the first time in the year 2018-19, there was the mentor of ‘charismatic coach’ Ravi Shastri and an excellent leader in the form of Virat Kohli. But this time who is going to be Shastri and Kohli of Team India on the tour? This has to be seen. Michael Vaughn gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Fox Cricket before the start of BGT, Vaughan said – In the last four or five years, without any doubt, these two teams have been the best two teams with their skill set and mentality. Are. The last two times they have been here, they have won. They had a charismatic coach in Ravi Shastri and a captain in Virat Kohli. Vaughan further said- I am a big believer that when you play against Australia, there is only one way to play against them and that is to be on the front foot, be aggressive and score some tries. Ravi could do this, Virat could do this. I want to know who is Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli in the Indian team this time? I don’t think there can be another one like it. Can Rohit come back and do this kind of captaincy? I think this is going to be a big challenge for India in the coming few weeks?

Before Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sanjay Manjrekar gave a big statement about Virat Kohli.
The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Sanjay Manjrekar and Virat Kohli Ever since Indian batsman Virat Kohli reached Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, he has been in the news in Australian newspapers. Kohli even appeared in advertisements on the front pages of Australian newspapers. However, amidst all this, it is worth noting that Virat Kohli is struggling in red ball cricket. The line outside off-stump has troubled the 36-year-old in the last few seasons. In such a situation, they will have to improve before the Test series starting from 22nd November. Meanwhile, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Kohli knows very well what plan the Australian bowlers can make against him. I hope Virat will practice accordingly. Australians will try all those methods – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports, Virat knows what is going to be planned? They will definitely start from the off stump line and see what the mood is? These days he is leaving the balls outside the off stump and will try to drive if the pitch is straight. He also said that, these days, he is trying to attack the body because he likes to play forward. So this is something that New Zealand has tried, which is very smart. And then if he is so focused outside off, there is a particular style of bowling the ball on middle stump, which Josh Hazlewood will try. So Australians will try all those methods and Virat Kohli knows about it. The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first Test, so vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of the team.
