#3. Virat Kohli gearing up for the Test series

It is not that Virat Kohli needs to prove his mettle in Australia as he has scored runs down under on his previous tours. But the hunger in him to keep improving all the time and score runs across the globe would spur him to do well in the Test series.
After a failure in the first T20I, India were not able to bat in the second match because of weather and that meant the Indian captain had the last game to stamp his authority in the series. He did exactly that but wasn’t at his usual best to start off his innings.
To win the game for your country even without playing at your best shows the greatness of Kohli, who was able to carry his team through and looked like he was ready for a tougher battle. In a way, his form with the bat will go a long way in deciding the final outcome of the Test series.
