mcgrath asks australia to take tough stance against emotional kohli

Melbourne. Veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrath believes Australia has the ‘capability’ to target ’emotional’ Virat Kohli and the star batsman will be in trouble if he makes a poor start to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting in Perth from November 22. Will come under pressure in the series. India has won the last four Test series against Australia, two of which were played in Australia. However, Team India faced a 0-3 clean sweep against New Zealand at home in the last series before the five-Test series against Australia.

“There’s no doubt that after the 0-3 defeat against New Zealand, you have a lot of potential to prove yourself,” Fox Cricket quoted McGrath as saying on ‘Code Sports’. “So put pressure on him and see if he is ready for it or not.” Kohli, who has been the mainstay of India’s batting for more than a decade, has been struggling with poor form in Test cricket for some time now. In the six matches he has played this year, his average has been only 22.72. Injured Shubman Gill is out of the first Test and captain Rohit Sharma is also doubtful and Kohli will feel the pressure to lead the batting order.

However, 36-year-old Kohli is eager to give his best performance in Australia. He has scored at an impressive average of 54.08 in the four tours of Australia. McGrath warned that aggressively targeting Kohli could get the star batsman too excited, especially if he manages to keep his emotions in check. “I think he is under a bit of pressure and if he scores a bit low initially he will really feel it,” said the 54-year-old McGrath, who took 563 Test wickets in 124 matches for Australia between 1993 and 2007. . I think he is a very emotional player.
