Sunil Gavaskar sets straight record against Virat Kohli ahead of Australia Test. Say “Survive…”

former indian captain sunil gavaskar feel Virat Kohli They have a track record of recovering from poor form in the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia. Kohli arrived in Australia after a horror game in which he swung the bat against New Zealand at home, but he managed just 93 runs in six innings in a crushing 3-0 defeat at home. But Gavaskar is confident of a turnaround, especially considering Kohli’s exceptional performance in Australia. Historically, Australia has been the stage for some of Kohli’s greatest performances, scoring 1352 runs in 13 Tests at an average of 54.08. He also scored six centuries and four fifties Down Under.

“Yes, I think so. That’s because he didn’t score against New Zealand. He’ll be very, very hungry. Even in that Adelaide Test match, he conceded 36 runs in the second innings. In the innings, if I remember correctly, Kohli made 70 He had scored more than a point, but since then he has scored every time he has played in Adelaide, so even if it was a pink-ball game, it was a familiar ground for him. ” Gavaskar told Star Sports during an interaction.

However, Gavaskar suggested that if Kohli scores a ton of runs in Australia, he needs to assess the first few balls to calm his nerves.

“Before Adelaide, it’s Perth. He made one of the greatest centuries for Perth in 2018-19. A great, great hundred. So when you get runs for sure on a particular ground, you get a little bit of confidence. “Of course, you have to be lucky to survive in the start and there may be little ball, so if he can get the start, he’ll get a big run,” he said. explained.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will begin with the first Test in Perth on November 22. The second Test, to be played day and night, is scheduled for December 6-10 at Adelaide Oval. The third Test will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane from December 14th to 18th.
