Virat Kohli has come under serious scanner after the string of low scores in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The batter, after slamming a century in the first match of the series at Perth, hasn't been at his best and has struggled to get going in the last two games.
In the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval, he edged one off Starc and then Josh Hazlewood's replacement Scott Boland. In the Gabba Test, he got driving the ball towards cover against Hazlewood. This has seen him getting criticized a lot for his approach.
Kohli asked pacers Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna to bowl to him outside off stump. The batter was also seen asking the pacers to bowl fast as he complimented them for bowling well and practiced the shouldering arm so that the bowler did not find an edge even if there was extra bounce.

Virat Kohli has a great track record at the Melbourne Cricket Ground
Kohli, in the last 4 innings, has scored just 26 runs as Australia pacers have managed to trouble him in the same channel. The premier batter, however, has been working very hard and it won't be a surprise if he ends up playing a big knock in the next match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
The Indian team has a good record at the MCG of late. They have not lost a Test at the venue since 2011. The Rohit Sharma-led side would be keen to carry on the same record and win the match to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
