Virat Kohli Recalls Intense Rivalry With Australian Pacer in “Isko Main Itna Maarunga…”

Virat Kohli emerged as the top-scorer for the Indian side in the four-match Test series, accumulating 692 runs. He fell just behind Australia’s Steve Smith, who amassed 769 runs. Kohli began the series with centuries in both innings of the first Test at Adelaide Oval. Although he did not replicate this performance in the second match at The Gabba in Brisbane, Kohli made a strong comeback with centuries in both the third and final Test matches in Melbourne and Sydney.

During a viral video, Kohli recounted a challenging moment during the tour when a ball hit him on the head in the first match. He shared his initial disbelief and the impact it had on his plans for the series. Kohli also expressed his determination to retaliate against the bowler in the following matches, which he successfully accomplished. Kohli assumed the role of stand-in captain for the Indian team in the absence of Dhoni during the first match, with Dhoni returning for the second and third matches.

Following Dhoni’s retirement from the format, Kohli was appointed as the full-time Test skipper of India from the fourth match against Australia.
