Kohli has faced a challenging phase in the last few months across all formats. In his last 60 Test innings, he has scored only two centuries and 11 half-centuries. This year, he has averaged only 22.72 in six Tests, and in the three matches against New Zealand, he could only score 93 runs. “Since they haven't scored against New Zealand, they will be very hungry for runs,” Gavaskar told Star Sports. He said, “Even in the Adelaide Test, where India were bowled out for 36 in the second innings, Kohli had scored more than 70 runs in the first innings before being run out.
“Despite these recent struggles, Kohli has an excellent record in Australia. The right-handed batsman has toured Australia four times and has an average of 54.08. Gavaskar believes these figures will boost Kohli's confidence As they prepare for the upcoming five-match series, starting with the first Test in Perth, they have performed consistently in Adelaide, a ground they know well. from adelaide First, it is Perth, where Kohli scored his best Test century in the 2018-19 series – a brilliant century.”
