The first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Perth. A shocking claim has come to light before the match between India and Australia starting on 22nd November. Actually, former Australian cricketer Brendon Julian has made many claims regarding the 5-match Test series. According to him, at present there are many challenges in front of the Indian team, due to which the Australian team can register victory in Perth in 4 days. While talking on Fox Cricket, Julian expressed Team India's biggest concern about Virat Kohli. He claimed that he is not able to maintain coordination with Indian captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Why did you make this claim about Kohli?

Virat Kohli is currently the topic of discussion in Australia. From Australian media to veteran cricketers, everyone is talking about his form and game. Meanwhile, Brendon Julian, who played 7 Tests and 25 ODIs for Australia between 1933 and 1999, also made a shocking claim on Kohli.

Julian described the manner of Virat's dismissal against New Zealand as a cause of concern for the Indian team. According to Julian, Kohli is not in his best form at the moment and he is not getting along with Rohit and Gambhir. He is not able to adjust his playing style with the team.

Claim to defeat in 4 days

Apart from Kohli, Julian also made a surprising claim about the Perth Test. According to him, the Australian team will defeat India in Perth in just 4 days. He gave many reasons behind this. According to Julian, both the batsmen and bowlers of Team India are struggling with their form. Whereas first test captain Rohit Sharma will not be present.

Apart from this, Jasprit Bumrah is captaining for the first time. Therefore, there will be more pressure on him as an opening bowler and captain. Suddenly captaincy in such an important series can become a burden on him. Looking at all these things, he named Pat Cummins's team as the favorite to win the first match.
