Sunil Gavaskar, Matthew Hayden dissect Virat Kohli's comeback knock in Perth Test

India Today  

Even the greats of the game need time to take a step back, reassess, and reinvent. Virat Kohli had endured a rough patch with the red ball in 2024, exacerbated by a shocking 0-3 home Test series defeat to New Zealand earlier in November. Getting into the line was important.” Taking a leaf out of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s playbook — the young opener had earlier hit a stunning 161 in his maiden Test Down Under, relying heavily on back-foot play and scoring behind square — Kohli focused on staying compact and scoring in the V. The upright stance allowed him to play the ball under his eyes. Just to open up a little bit and play that shot, that was great.” Raw emotions from the dugout as Virat Kohli reaches his 30th Test TON! That’s his strength.” Virat Kohli was even willing to play reverse sweeps against Australia’s lone spinner Nathan Lyon.
