New Delhi. During the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India will now face the challenge of Australia (India vs Australia) at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. In the first two matches itself, India has stopped speaking of Australia. In such a situation, the danger of clean sweep is now looming over the kangaroos. Although India needs only one win to make it to the final of the World Test Championship, but India is trying to win all the four matches. If this happens then Team India can also exclude Australia from the race for the WTC final. The Australian team, which is suffering from injuries, is now facing the fear of Virat Kohli in the Indore Test.
Virat will sail in Indore
Virat Kohli will sail Team India at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Virat’s record here is excellent. King Kohli has played two test matches in Indore. During this, 228 runs came from his bat at an average of 76. Virat Kohli is the third highest run scorer on this pitch. The two batters above him are running out of Team India. Virat first scored a double century in Indore. After this, Mayank Agarwal’s bat also got a double century here. During the third Test match of the series against Australia starting from March 1, Virat is expected to show the same feat once again.
The drought of centuries will also end
In the year 2021, Virat Kohli ended the drought of centuries in limited overs cricket. He scored a century in T20 format during the Asia Cup. After this, he also scored a century in ODIs with his bat on Bangladesh tour. Now only Test format is left where he has not been able to score a century till now. The last time Virat Kohli scored a century in this format was during the day-night Test against Bangladesh in Kolkata in December 2019. The former captain’s record in Indore is excellent. In such a situation, the fans are hopeful that they will end the drought of centuries here as well.
Rohit’s tension will end
Even though big things are being done to clean sweep Australia by 4-0, but Rohit Sharma also knows very well that the Australian team has the power to come back. Pat Cummins and Co. have such batters and bowlers who can get the team back at any time. Even during the Delhi Test, Team India was lagging behind on the basis of innings. Somehow the lower order batsman made India come back. To secure a place in the final of the World Test Championship, India will have to win at least one of the next two matches. Virat Kohli can remove this tension of Rohit in Indore.
