Kohli Will Feel Extra Confidence Due To Past Consistent Show In Perth, Adelaide: Gavaskar
New Delhi: Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar highlighted Virat Kohli’s previous consistent performances on Adelaide and Perth grounds, adding that his past success against Australia in these venues will give him the extra bit of confidence during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
Kohli averages just 22.72 in his six Test matches this year, way below than his average of 54.08 in Tests in Australia and his overall career average of 47.83. He comes into his fifth Australia tour after making just 91 runs in India’s 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand at home earlier this month.
Kohli had hit 116 - first Test hundred at Adelaide in January 2012, followed by making 115 and 141 at the same venue in 2014, where he captained India for the first time in Tests. The former skipper also made 123, the first Test hundred by an Indian batter in the new Perth Stadium in 2018, where he eventually led India to 2-1 series victory, their first-ever Test series win in Australia.
