Virat Kohli’s Stats In Border Gavaskar Trophy

India and Australia are gearing up for the much-awaited five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy which is scheduled to begin with the first match at Perth on the 22nd of November. Virat Kohli has always played a key role for India in winning test matches in India. India has already arrived in Australia and they have started practicing in full swing to continue their series-winning streak on the Aussie soil. Previously, India won the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21. As a senior batter in the team, Virat has to step up by rolling his sleeves to win the games for India. He has immense experience on Australian wickets and knows their trio Starc-Hazlewood-Cummins extremely well inside out.

Virat in Tests vs Australia

Virat Kohli has played 25 tests against the Australian team and scored 2042 runs at an impressive average of 47.48. He has smashed eight centuries and five fifties with 186 in 2023 being his highest score.

Virat’s Test Runs in Australia

In Australia, the Delhite ace has played 13 matches from 2011 to 2021 and amassed 1352 runs, averaging a stunning 54.08 with six under his belt, dictating his love and ability to play the nasty pacers of Australia. In the 2018-19 series where Virat led the side to victory after ages, scored 282 runs in 4 matches at 40.28. In the 2020-21 edition, he played only one game and made 78 runs.

In recent times, Virat’s form has been a concern as he has struggled against pace and spin equally in tests. Since 2020, the veteran has made 1838 runs in 34 tests at a poor average of 31.68. But writing off a player of the caliber of Virat Kohli may be the most stupid thing to do, heroes like him always rise from the ashes in the toughest times.
