There is no doubt about the fact that the Indian skipper Virat Kohli will be playing a crucial role on the Australian tour. He has earlier scored 692 runs on the previous tour to Australia in 2014-15. Thus, there will be a huge amount of expectations from  Kohli to perform down under. Meanwhile, it is noted whenever is Virat is sledged by the opposition, he has gone on to score a bigger one more often than not.

Therefore, it is generally suggested to not wake up a sleeping lion. However, Australian cricket was hit hard by the ball-tampering scandal. Since the nasty incident, the Aussies have played soft cricket as compared to their previous generation.

Although, Australia always likes to take the bull by its horns. Hence, one can expect them to come hard in India, especially at the big fish Virat Kohli. The hosts can try out to sledge the Indian skipper to break his focus. Earlier on the previous tour, Mitchell Johnson had tried to get under the skin of Virat Kohli, however, it had backfired.

Mitchell Starc

It is going to be an interesting battle between Australia’s premier fast bowler, Mitchell Starc and India’s best batsman, Virat Kohli. In fact, there is no denying the fact that this battle might also decide the winner of the series as well. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Mitchell Starc have shared the dressing room for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. They were seen sharing a laugh after the conclusion of the third and final T20I. However, it would be a different ball game altogether in the Test series. Thus, Starc might look to distract Kohli’s focus by exchanging a few words with him.
