AUSSIE PLAYER CHALLENGES VIRAT KOHLI AHEAD OF INDIA’S TOUR

Australia seamer Pat Cummins has said that they won’t let India skipper Virat Kohli knock a century during the India tour of Australia in November. India will be touring Australia for three T20Is, three ODIs and four Test matches starting in November this year.

Cummins made the remark when he was speaking at a function in Sydney on Tuesday. He said, “My brave, bold prediction; I'd say I think Virat Kohli is not going to get a hundred and we're going to knock them off over here.”

former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath, at the same function, said that India will be whitewashed 4-0 in the Test series. Saying, “I want to see Australians put pressure on Kohli”, McGrath added, “If they can get on top of Kohli I think it can have a big effect on the game.”

Kohli has the Test average of 53.4 runs that improves to 62 in Tests played in Australia. The Indian skipper has scored a whopping 992 runs including five centuries from eight Tests in Australia. During his last tour the country, Kohli scored a massive 692 runs including four centuries in four Tests at an average of 86.50.
