Allan Border lambasts Pat Cummins and co. for 'letting Virat Kohli roll on to century': 'Don't want this guy...'

Hindustan Times  

Former Australian captain Allan Border has raised concerns about Australia’s failure to curb Virat Kohli’s return to form during the first Test in Perth, warning that the Indian star’s resurgence could spell trouble for Pat Cummins’ side in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Virat Kohli celebrates reaching his century during day three of the first Test cricket match between Australia and India The knock not only gave India a 1-0 series lead but also marked a significant milestone in Kohli’s career, as he became the Indian with most Test centuries in Australia, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. “We don’t want this guy full of confidence for the rest of the series.” The concern shared by Border was echoed by former Australian batters Matthew Hayden and Mark Taylor, who both pointed to a lack of early pressure on Kohli. With the second Test looming, Border’s warning remains clear: “If Kohli keeps playing like this, it could be a long, tough series for us.” Australia now face the challenge of addressing their tactical shortcomings while attempting to disrupt Kohli’s newfound rhythm before he becomes an even greater force in the series.
