All fans are eagerly waiting to see team India in action in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. They will take on Australia in the third Test in Indore on 1 March 2023. But, fans will hope for a better performance from Virat Kohli as he has been failing to score big in the longest format of the game.
In this ongoing series, Kohli has scored just 76 runs in three innings so far. The former India skipper scored his last Test century against Bangladesh on 22 November 2019. Recently, he has shown a great run of form with the bat in both the white-ball formats. So, fans are willing to see him with the same form in Tests also.
“Everything is ok, and Virat Kohli is back in form" - Harbhajan Singh
He had an opportunity in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh. But, Virat Kohli scored just 45 runs in four innings. So, it has been a concern for team India in the recent Test series. However, before this series, former cricketers like Harbhajan Singh claimed that Virat Kohli would do well in this series. While talking in a video on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan said that Kohli is back in form.
"I think this is the series where Virat Kohli's bat will speak vociferously. When he starts going, we know he won't stop. If India wants to play well in this series, then the run machine will have to take the onus and score big runs. Just forget what happened in the past. Whatever the fault was in the technique, it has now been left behind. Everything is ok, and Virat Kohli is back in form," Harbhajan said.
Now, a video has gone viral ahead of the Indore Test where Virat Kohli was seen helping in the slips-catching drill with the fielders. But, fans were not happy as they thought it might prepare him to get an edge only while facing the Australian bowlers in the third Test.
