The ace cricketer had a disappointing outing in the first ODI in Perth on Sunday, October 19, where he was dismissed for a duck off eight balls by Mitchell Starc. India also endured a frustrating day, losing the series opener by seven wickets under the DLS method.

As the visitors aim to bounce back in the second ODI, Kohli was seen fine-tuning his skills in the nets.

“Not going to be easy” - Legendary India spinner’s massive statement on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Both returning ace batters, Rohit Sharma (8) and Virat Kohli (0), struggled in India’s opening ODI against Australia. Following the match, legendary spinner Ravichandran Ashwin spoke about the duo on his YouTube channel, saying:

"For their good, I think they can focus a bit more on preparation, especially in terms of playing games before going on tours, but that is not entirely in the hands of players, it needs to be planned by the team management. This is too early to talk about Virat and Rohit, because there are a few more games. My only worry for them is can they get more game time?"

"It is not going to be easy for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. I really hope they get some kind of flow, because they have not played any cricket recently. If you are going on an international tour, planning is necessary. We have often travelled overseas 10-15 days before the series begins, travelled in 2-3 batches, so that definitely can be done," he added.

Rohit and Kohli have retired from Tests and T20Is and now represent India only in ODIs at the international level.
