Delhi: Indian cricket team’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli is struggling with bad form these days. There has been no big innings from his bat for a long time. In the Perth Test against Australia to be played from November 22, where captain Rohit Sharma will not be a part of the team, Virat will have to take charge of the Indian batting.

In such a situation, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar believes that even though Virat’s form is not with him at the moment, he is fully prepared and desperate to score runs in Australia. Gavaskar is confident that Virat will overcome this challenge and prove successful.
At present, Kohli’s average in 6 Test matches this year is only 22.72, which is much lower than his Test career (average 47.83) and his performance in Australia (average 54.08). Recently, in India’s 3-0 defeat in the home series against New Zealand, Virat was able to score only 91 runs. Now he is looking for big innings on the Australia tour.
What has Sunil Gavaskar said?
Gavaskar said while talking to Star Sports, “Virat was not able to score runs against New Zealand, which means he will be hungry for runs. Last time in the Adelaide Test, when the entire team was out for 36 runs, Virat had scored more than 70 runs in the first innings. Adelaide and Perth have been his favorite grounds. His brilliant century in Perth in 2018-19 was one of his best Test centuries. These innings will help in boosting his confidence. If he gets a good start, he will play big innings.”
