Virat Kohli’s SCG exit, one last time in Australia?

Hindustan Times  

Sydney: For a while on Day 2 of the Sydney Test, it felt like the clock had stopped. Boland’s unerring accuracy and the subtle seam movement he extracts from pitches make facing him a bit of a lottery and no one knows that better than Kohli, who has been dismissed multiple times on this tour. He is mesmerising that bat to follow the ball and that could well be the last time we see Virat Kohli on Australian soil and in Test match cricket.” However, given how Australia have zeroed in on the right line to dismiss Kohli, a question in the press conference was if it was easy to get Kohli out. “No, it’s never easy to get Virat out,” said Australia coach Andrew McDonald. It’s one thing to have a plan, but then to be able to execute that, the way that we have to Virat, it’s put him under immense pressure.” McDonald added: “He’s tried some things.
