Virat Kohli is currently the topic of discussion throughout Australia. From media to cricket experts, there is only an echo of Kohli's name. He believes that if Australia, which has been losing four times, wants to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, then it is necessary to stop Virat. That's why former players of the team are telling their respective game plans against him. Now veteran bowler Glenn McGrath has also entered it. He has given the mantra to keep Virat calm not in one or two but in the entire series.

McGrath told this method

Glenn McGrath is the same player who is considered to be the era of Sachin Tendulkar, the world's best batsman. McGrath is known for getting him out on every big occasion. He had shown Sachin the way to the pavilion 13 times in his career. After Brett Lee, McGrath has dismissed Sachin the most number of times. Now he has given his message to Australian captain Pat Cummins to stop Virat.

While talking on Fox Cricket, McGrath called Virat an 'emotional' person. According to him, because of this, once Kohli's confidence comes back, he becomes the most dangerous player. But when he is under pressure and runs are not scored, he is seen struggling. Seeing this pattern, McGrath advised that Australia should put pressure on them from the first ball. If he does not score runs in one or two innings, he will struggle in the entire series.

McGrath believes that Team India is under pressure after coming back from New Zealand after being white washed. So currently the ball is in Australia's court. He should come out with full strength in the first match and put pressure on the Indian players so that he can know whether they are ready for it or not.

Virat Kohli's record in Australia

This year has not been good for Virat Kohli in Tests. In 2024, he has played only 6 test matches, in which he has been able to score runs at an average of only 22.72. In such a situation, there is a lot of pressure on him to score runs. However, his figures in Australia are tremendous. He has scored 1352 runs in 13 matches in Australia at an average of 54. During this period, he also scored 6 centuries, so the Australian team will not take him lightly.
