Virat Kohli remains the most talked-about player in the ongoing India-Australia series. Known for his exceptional performances on Australian soil, Kohli has struggled to make a significant impact in Test cricket over the past five years. The year 2024 has been particularly challenging for him, with no major achievements except for India’s T20 World Cup win. Across all formats, Kohli has had a disappointing run this year.
In Test cricket, Kohli has scored 376 runs in 17 innings so far, with only one century and one half-century to his name. His batting average for the year has plummeted to 25.06, matching his lowest-ever yearly average recorded in 2022.
In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli’s performance in three Tests (five innings) has been underwhelming: scores of 5, 100*, 7, 11, and 3, with an average of 31.50. Despite these struggles, Indian captain Rohit Sharma remains optimistic about Kohli’s comeback in the remaining two Tests.
Rohit expressed confidence in Kohli’s ability to overcome challenges, stating, “Modern-day legends know how to bounce back from tough times.”
