Sourav Ganguly on Virat Kohli Australia Tour: Virat Kohli’s form is not supporting him for many matches before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The year 2024 has also not proved to be good for Kohli so far. Kohli’s bat neither played in the Test series against Bangladesh nor in the Test series against New Zealand. Since Virat Kohli holds many Test records in Australia, fans are expecting his form to return in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Former Indian team captain Sourav Ganguly also said many things about Kohli’s form and also made predictions on Virat’s Australia Test tour.
Ganguly made a big prediction about Kohli
Sourav Ganguly believes that this series could be especially important for Virat Kohli, as this could be his last Test tour in Australia. It may be difficult for Kohli, who is 36 years old, to play on Australia tour in future. Talking about this, Ganguly said, “He is a champion batsman and has performed brilliantly in Australia before. He scored four centuries there in 2014 and one century in 2018. He would like to leave his mark in this series and He will also realize that this could be his last tour of Australia.”
Ganguly is not worried about Kohli’s poor form
Sourav Ganguly did not express much concern over Virat Kohli’s poor performance and said, “The pitches in New Zealand were very difficult for batting, but Kohli will get good wickets in Australia. I have full hope that he will perform well in this series.” Ganguly said all these things on the stage of RevSportz.
Kohli’s test statistics in 2023 and 2024
