Indian batter Virat Kohli is an exceptional and amazing character. The amount of energy the latter puts in while playing on the cricket field is an inspiration for many upcoming budding cricketers. Kohli who has been regarded as the go-to batters in world cricket at the present time has been among the few best performing cricketers in Australia. Virat’s fairytale Australian tour of 2014-15 when he smashed 694 runs from four games with four tons is still in the eyes of the fans. Apart from smashing hundreds and scoring runs, the former Indian captain had a pretty heated faceoff with Australian players and media. One such was between him and Mitchell Johnson during the first Test match of the series played in Adelaide.

Virat Kohli had one of the fiercest altercations with Mitchell Johnson when the former Australian pacer threw back the ball to him while Kohli tried to defend the ball. This has been among the strategy of Johnson wherein he plays such mind games to scare him and get him out. Though, Virat Kohli has been a different character, he took him on and smashed him for boundaries. Also, he also tried to tease the Australian bowler which was in his prime form at that time.
As the Team India is all set to take on Australia in the first Test of the five-match Test series from November 22. The Indian team has won the previous two editions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and now they will be wanting to repeat the performance once again. The Indian team registered an iconic win on the Australian tour out of which the most remembered was the one at ‘The Gabba’. Kohli played only one Test on the last tour and now will look forward to bring out his best in the upcoming series.
