Indian batter Virat Kohli has been a real match winner for the India national cricket team. Ever since his international debut, Virat has taken the responsibility on his shoulders and played some knocks to help the team win matches. The latter has achieved a lot of milestone in his more than a decade old international career. Virat is currently part of the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 series. The latter has already slammed a hundred in the opening match of the series but was a complete flop in the second and the third Test. He will be wanting to score some runs in the fourth Test set to be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.

Greg Chappell Gives Clinical Advice To Virat Kohli
Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell while writing in his column for ‘The Sydney Morning Herald’ gave his opinion on how can Virat Kohli get back to scoring runs. Chappell explained that Virat just need a buffer of 28 to 30 runs to get back to form and is suffering from EPDS (Elite Performance Decline Syndrome). He wrote, “The first visible sign of EPDS is a subtle but unmistakable shift in a player’s approach at the crease. Kohli, once renowned for his domineering starts, has in recent years shown a tendency to begin tentatively.”

“Much like Tendulkar and Ponting before him, Kohli seems to need a buffer – a score of 20 or 30 – before he can rediscover his flow. Reaching a score of 20 or 30 acts as a psychological turning point, helping them regain the confidence and fluency of their prime”, he added.
Australia has always been a place which has proven to be a delight for Virat Kohli. The latter has scored most of his runs in the island nation and now will want to score some hundreds in the fourth Test set to be played in Melbourne.
