Need to strike fine balance while confronting Virat Kohli, he can be ruthless, says Aaron Finch

India TV News  

Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch wants the home team players to strike a "fine balance" when they confront Virat Kohli in the opening Test as he believes, if provoked too much, the India skipper can be "ruthless" against his opponents. "I think there will be times when things boil over and when you have got strong characters on either team that's going to come to a head at some point," Finch was quoted as saying by 'Sydney Morning Herald'. " Finch, who was part of the last home Test series between the two teams, said the Indian skipper looks much calmer the way he goes about his job now. Finch, who had played under Kohli in Royal Challengers Bangalore, said he was "surprised" to see the Indian's confidence in this year's IPL in the UAE.
