Kohli’s iconic status in Australia
Kohli has long been considered one of cricket’s biggest stars, especially during India’s tours to Australia. His aggressive playing style and unwavering confidence have earned him the title of “The Most Australian Non-Australian Cricketer”. Prior to this Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli featured prominently on various media platforms (podcasts, magazines, newspapers and advertisements), cementing his role as a key figure in cricket.
This series is particularly significant for Kohli as it may be one of his last Test tours to Australia. He made his mark here by scoring his first Test century in 2012 and began his journey as captain in 2014. Despite a challenging start to this tour, where he scored an unbeaten century in Perth but struggled in the later innings, fans maintain the hope of a good performance. of him at the MCG.
A historic place for Kohli
The MCG holds special memories for Kohli, who scored 316 runs in three Tests at this venue at an impressive average of 52.67. His record in this field includes three fifties and a remarkable 169 runs scored during a previous match in 2014. As India heads into this crucial Test with the series tied 1-1, there is immense pressure on Kohli to deliver once again.
The father-son duo’s meeting with Kohli comes at a crucial time for both the player and the Indian team. With just two matches left in the series and the need for just one win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, every performance counts.
