Virat Kohli Gears Up for Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024: Prepares for Test Series Against Australia in Perth
Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has begun his preparations for the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 against Australia. Since his arrival in Perth, Kohli has been making waves in the Australian media, with English newspapers even showcasing his welcome in Hindi and Punjabi on their front pages. The 2024 Test series between India and Australia kicks off on November 22 in Perth, and Kohli’s preparations are already under the spotlight.
The Indian team has been provided full access to the Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) Stadium for their practice sessions, which has been completely shut off to the public, resembling a lockdown-like scenario. The WACA nets are entirely covered, allowing the Indian players to focus on their training ahead of the Test series.
Journalist Tristan shared a series of updates on Twitter, including videos of the Indian team’s first practice session. In one of his posts, he shared a photo of Virat Kohli in action, stating, “Virat Kohli has begun his Test preparation. Along with other senior players, Kohli was seen in the nets, looking sharp against short-pitched and fast deliveries.”
Tristan also shared an interesting incident from the practice session, claiming that a powerful shot from Yashasvi Jaiswal sent the ball flying out of the WACA stadium and onto the street outside. This further highlights the intensity and power behind the Indian team’s practice sessions.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy holds significant importance for the Indian team, especially after their recent loss to New Zealand in the home Test series, where they faced a clean sweep for the first time in 12 years. The outcome of this series will have a major impact on whether India will qualify for the World Test Championship final.
With the first Test just around the corner, all eyes are on Kohli and the Indian team to bounce back and perform at their best against the mighty Australians.
