New Delhi. David Warner is worried about the Australian team for the upcoming five-Test series against India. He is fearful of the threat of Virat Kohli and believes Indian batsmen can give Australia tough competition in the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Many former players did not take Kohli lightly after he scored just 93 runs in six innings against New Zealand.
Warner believes Kohli can give his best in Australia. Warner wrote in his column for Herald Sun: “This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Virat likes challenges.” He was the best foreign batsman to play in Australia. There is no better place than this for him to come out of his bad state and answer his critics.”
“Don’t make the mistake of provoking Virat Kohli…” The veteran gave a special piece of advice to the Australian team
Warner further wrote, “I am very worried about the Australian cricket team because they can score a lot of runs.” Let us tell you that in 13 Test matches in Australia, Kohli has scored six centuries at an average of more than 50. Apart from Virat, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan have not batted well of late.
Gill was ruled out of the first game of the series due to a fractured thumb, while Jaiswal, Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel have never played in Australia. Mohammed Shami is out of the team while Mohammed Siraj is struggling, putting Jasprit Bumrah under pressure. It will be interesting to see which team wins the first friendly match.
