New Delhi . Virat Kohli is no longer seen in his old form. Especially in Test cricket, he has not scored a long innings for many years and it has been a long time since he scored a century. His flop show first against Bangladesh and then against New Zealand proved costly for the team. Now everyone's eyes are on the BorderGavaskar Trophy and along with Team India, Indian fans also want King Kohli to once again roar in Australia as per his name.
This series is important for India because the World Test Championship is also at stake. A flop here would directly mean being out of the WTC. Whereas, if Virat's bat remains silent in this series too, he may also be in trouble. If we look at Virat's record in Australia, the hope is that he will be successful in regaining his form because this tour is a 'test by fire' for him.
Team India is sweating profusely in Perth before the start of the BorderGavaskar Trophy. The Indian team is dreaming of completing a hattrick by defeating Australia at home for the third consecutive time. But this time some things are not in India's favor. This time we neither have Cheteshwar Pujara nor Ajinkya Rahane, who were important players with the bat on both the previous tours. Not only this, captain Rohit Sharma is also not there in the first test, while Virat Kohli's silent bat is a big problem for the team.
For Team India, not only the BorderGavaskar Trophy is at stake, but there is also a danger of being out of the World Test Championship. In a battle of pride and honour, the world's two greatest teams are all set to clash in Perth from 22nd November. There is a saying, 'If the foundation is strong, the building will be tall'. The Perth Test will serve as the foundation for this muchawaited fivematch series and whoever wins here can, to a large extent, have the upper hand in the entire series.
