Team India's tension has increased before the third Test to be played in Brisbane. After the defeat in the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide, the problems of the Indian team seem to be reducing even before the third Test. The biggest tension is regarding the performance of veteran batsman Virat Kohli. On this Australian tour, Virat Kohli has so far scored only one century in four innings. Apart from this he has flopped miserably. Even before the Gaba Test, Virat Kohli's figures are scaring. Virat Kohli's record in Tests on this ground has been very bad.
On one hand, Virat Kohli has been a flop in this series, while on the other hand, Virat's bat has remained silent on the ground where the upcoming match of the series will be played.
The third match of Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played at Gabba ground in Brisbane from 14th December. King Kohli has so far played only 1 test match (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2014) on this ground. During this period, he could not score big runs from his bat in both the innings. He scored only 19 runs in the first innings. Whereas in the second innings he was out for just 1 run. He was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood in the first innings. Virat's wicket was taken by Mitchell Johnson in the second innings.Virat Kohli also flopped miserably in the pink ball test. He did not support the team in both the innings of Adelaide Test. Virat had scored only 7 runs in the second innings. He was dismissed by Scott Boland. Whereas in the first innings he gave his wicket to Mitchell Starc for 11 runs. He had definitely scored an unbeaten century in the second innings of Perth, but in the first innings, Virat had become the victim of Josh Hazlewood on a personal score of 5 runs.
The Adelaide Test ended in the first session of the third day itself. Immediately after the end of the match, Virat Kohli started preparing for the Brisbane Test. He went straight to the nets for batting practice. His move was also highly praised by former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.
