Australia has always been a boon for Virat Kohli whenever it has come to scoring hundreds. The latter brings out his best performance on Australian soil and as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is approaching, the fans are expecting Virat to perform in the same fashion as he is known for. While, Kohli is known to take on the opposition by looking in his eyes and always displays an aggressive brand of cricket on the cricket field. The right-handed Indian batter has a bitter-and-sweet relationship with the Australian media as well. From his first Australian tour back in 2011-2012, Virat has always been part of criticism among the Australian media due to his blunt statements.

However, as Virat Kohli reaches Australia for the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 series, he received a different welcome from the Australian media. As Kohli arrived in Perth, the capital city of Western Australia for the first IND vs AUS 2024-25 Test, many Australian newspapers published his arrival on the front page but with an Indian taste. One of the popular headline read, “Yugon ki ladai (Fight for the ages).
Virat Kohli is going through a rough patch in international cricket and is yet to score a hundred in 2024. Australia has always been a comeback place for the right-handed Indian batter wherein he smashed more than 600 runs in a single Test series after a nightmare England tour. Virat has been getting starts but he hasn’t been able to convert them into big scores.
