New Delhi. Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri is confident that Virat Kohli will successfully prove his mettle in Australia. Shastri said that Kohli has the ability to bounce back from his poor form and he can deliver a brilliant performance against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. For this Shastri Kohli gave Gurumantra. Shastri says if Kohli starts like this in Australia, he will definitely be successful in playing big innings. In the last few months, Kohli is going through a bad phase in all formats. The 36-year-old star batsman has scored just one half-century in five Test matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand since the start of the year, while his average was just 21.33.

But Shastri warned Australia and said that Kohli will play in the country where he loves to bat and score runs. Shastri said in ICC Review: “Kohli will now play where he is doing very well.” That’s all I will tell them. When you reach this status after your successes in Australia, your opponent is always on your mind when you come out to bat.

Kohli scored a century in Adelaide in 2011-12
Shastri was referring to Kohli’s brilliant performance in Australia where he scored a fighting century in his first Test tour in Adelaide in 2011-12. During the 2014 tour, he scored 692 runs in four Test matches, including a brilliant innings of 123 runs in Perth during the 2018-19 series. Then Kohli captained the team. However, Shastri advised Kohli to be cautious in the initial stages of the tour.

“If Virat did this, then understand…”
The former India all-rounder said, “When you are excited and excited, that’s what happens with Virat.” So you should keep calm because sometimes you get excited when you come on the field and take your first step. He said: “But I think when he comes out to bat, it will be very important for him to stay calm in the first half hour or the first three innings of the series. “If he can stay calm and play at his own pace , instead of rushing, then I think he will bat well.
