As Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, prepares for the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia next month, former New Zealand cricketer and RCB Cricket Director Mike Hesson has identified Virat Kohli as Australia’s biggest threat.
Despite not being in top form this year, Mike Hesson believes Virat Kohli has a special affinity for performing against Australia, making him a formidable opponent.
Mike Hesson highlighted that Virat Kohli’s aggressive approach, especially between the 30th and 60th overs, could put Australia on the back foot. He praised Kohli’s ability to rotate the strike, hit boundaries, and keep the scoreboard ticking. While Virat struggled for big scores earlier in the year, his fitness and cricketing acumen remain sharp. Hesson also noted that Kohli’s guidance to younger players will be crucial on Australian pitches.
Australia must be wary of Virat Kohli, as failing to contain him could result in another series victory for India.
