Along with the Sydney Test, the Border Gavaskar Trophy has also concluded in Australia. This will be the last tour for some Indian players. One of these names can also be that of Virat Kohli. Looking at his form and age, perhaps he will never come back to play at his favorite place. Australian captain Pat Cummins was also questioned about this. How did he feel playing with Virat Kohli for the last time? In response to this, Cummins recalled Virat's career and called him the superstar batsman of the last decade. During this, he also talked about his aggression and strange actions on the field.
Pat Cummins said that there has always been a tremendous competition with Virat Kohli. During this, Cummins recalled that he liked Kohli's aggression and strange actions on the field more than his runs. He said that 'more than the runs, the way he behaves on the field is like a theatre. However, this is part of their plan. So sometimes it is not good to be an opponent and sometimes it can be beneficial. The Australian captain described Kohli's wicket as equivalent to winning the match. According to him, as soon as the Indian star takes the wicket, the teams start moving towards winning the match.
@patcummins30 will certainly miss playing against @imVkohliif this was his last Test series in Australia!

Virat Kohli has liked the Australian team and its land since the beginning. He has been scoring runs against the Kangaroo team since the beginning of his career. He gave its first glimpse during the 2014 tour. He was the second batsman to score the most runs in the series. Kohli had scored 692 runs at an average of 86.50, which included 4 centuries and 1 half-century.
He became the first Indian captain to defeat Australia on its soil during the 2018 tour. He was the third batsman to score the most runs on this tour. After this, he toured Australia in 2021 but was able to play only one match. And now it is believed that this time he has shown his glimpse for the last time in Australia, which was quite disappointing. This time he could score only 190 runs in 9 innings at an average of 23.75. This is his worst performance so far.
