Virat Kohli will start from zero against Australia: Hayden dismisses form concerns

India Today  

Former Australia skipper Matthew Hayden expressed confidence that India’s star batter Virat Kohli will be at his best during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Speaking at a virtual media interaction hosted by Cricket Australia, Hayden praised Kohli’s temperament and highlighted his experience and success on Australian soil as key factors in the series. We all know that he's capable of averaging beyond 50, and he's the most unsound for his country in the past, second beyond Sachin Tendalkar, but gee, it's up to him.I wish him all the best because in Australia, we want to see Virat Kohli against arguably the best attack that Australian cricket has had in the history of the game," Hayden added. The former Australian opener also remarked that such iconic players thrive under pressure and that Kohli’s contributions could be decisive in the BGT, especially with India’s batting order needing a leader in Rohit Sharma’s absence from the first Test after having recently welcomed his second child.
