Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Kohli has an idea of what Australian bowlers might plan for him and expects the Delhi-born to practice accordingly. He highlighted that in the last couple of series, Virat left the ball that was pitched outside off and played a drive on a couple of occasions.

In recent years Virat Kohli has been one of the most successful visiting batters who has played Test cricket in Australia. At 36, the upcoming five-match Test series could be Kohli's final series Down Under.
