Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath has advised Australian players to put pressure on Virat Kohli. The 54-year-old veteran said, “Kohli, who is out of form, will be under pressure due to his poor start. Kangaroos should target them. “After the defeat against New Zealand, Australia now have a lot of ammunition against them.”
India’s tour of Australia begins on November 22. The first match will be played in Perth. The Indian team has to play a 5 Test series there and this series is important from the World Test Championship point of view. India will have to win 4 out of 5 matches to reach the final alone.
Kohli did not play in the New Zealand series
“Put pressure on Kohli and see if he is ready or not,” McGrath told Australian media outlet Fox Cricket.
Fox said Kohli, who has been India’s batting leader for over a decade, is struggling with poor form. His average over 6 matches this year is 22.72. Even in the New Zealand Test series, Kohli could not do anything special. I continued to struggle with poor form.
Now, Shubman Gill, who was injured before the series in Australia, has been ruled out of the first Test. It is not yet clear whether captain Rohit Sharma will play the first Test or not. There will be pressure on Kohli to lead the batting line-up.
McGrath Warning – Too much aggression can backfire. McGrath also warned his players that targeting Kohli too aggressively can also cause damage. It is possible that Kohli will come out of the pressure and stand up, stand firm because Kohli is such a player whose form is going bad, it continues, but if he holds on, he will hold on.
Let us tell you that Kohli has been scoring runs at an impressive average of 54.08 in the last four tours of Australia.
