Virat Kohli's performance in Australia was very poor. He was successful in scoring a century in the Perth Test but after this his batting proved to be a miserable failure in all the four Test matches. Now it is being claimed about Virat Kohli that this player can once again play a Test series in Australia. This claim has been made by none other than former head coach Ravi Shastri. Shastri said while talking to Code Sports that he would not be surprised if Virat Kohli again visits Australia to play a Test series. Shastri said, 'Write down my words. I would not be surprised if Virat Kohli comes again to play a Test series on Australian soil.

Meaning Virat will not leave Test cricket?

Ravi Shastri has hinted at saying that Virat Kohli is in no mood to leave Test cricket at the moment. He may have failed in Australia but he has not given up. According to Ravi Shastri, Virat Kohli can also go on England tour. But before that Shastri definitely advised him to play domestic cricket. Shastri believes that it is important to play domestic cricket to gain good form and rhythm. Virat Kohli has not played Ranji Trophy matches for the last 13 years, he last played a first class match for Delhi in 2012.

Will Virat Kohli play for 40 years?

Virat Kohli is currently 36 years old. Team India does not have to play a Test series on Australia tour for the next two years. A series of 5 T20 and 3 ODI matches is to be held at the end of this year. The Australian team is to tour India next year. But at present it is not decided when Team India will play the Test series in Australia. If this series happens after 3-4 years, will Virat play Test series till then? In such a situation, Ravi Shastri's claim on Virat seems impossible.

Virat flopped badly in Australia

Virat Kohli scored 190 runs in the five Test matches played on the Australia tour at an average of just 23.75. 190 runs were scored when he scored 100 not out in the Perth Test. Meaning, after this he scored only 90 runs in the next 4 tests. The big thing here is that Virat got out in the same manner by touching the ball outside the off stump. On which many experts raised questions. Now it remains to be seen how the future of Virat Kohli will be?
