With the residue settled over the strike-rate disaster that broke out during the IPL 2024, Sunil Gavaskar has a new arrangement of assumptions from Virat Kohli when India visit Australia for the five-test series of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in the not-so-distant future.
Sunil Gavaskar’s New Vision for Virat Kohli
Sunil Gavaskar, the previous India captain, was disparaging of the way that Virat Kohli hit out at those scrutinizing his strike rate and asked, ‘Why answer if you couldn’t care about external noise?’. Be that as it may, the Virat Kohli fanbase betrayed Gavaskar, although the India legend didn’t recoil or move from his position.
Presently, with a half year to go for the immensely significant BGT, Gavaskar maintains that Kohli should do what extremely restricted voyaging hitters have done: score 100 in every one of the five Test scenes in Australia. Kohli has made 100s in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne, yet the only one missing is The Gabba, where India made history the last time they played a Test match there.
Tragically, Virat Kohli was absent when ‘Fortress Gabba‘ was vanquished, and thus, Gavaskar has his assumptions pretty obvious from India’s star hitter on his fifth visit Down Under.
“On a singular level, [my wish] perhaps for Virat Kohli is that he turns into the third overseas player who’s scored a Test century in every one of the Australian settings. I figure he doesn’t have one at the Gabba, so in the event that he gets a hundred years at The Gabba, that implies he goes along with me and Alastair Cook,” Gavaskar said on Wednesday, during the send-off of the Australia-India Summer of Cricket, coordinated by the Australian Consulate in association with Cricket Australia.
Sunil Gavaskar’s Challenge to Virat Kohli
Sunil Gavaskar turned into the main overseas player to strip off hundreds of years at every one of the five Australia Test scenes. His most noteworthy score of 172 came in Sydney in 1986, followed by a thump of 166 at Adelaide in a similar series. A long time ago, in 1981, Gavaskar scored 118 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, while the other two centuries—127 in Perth and 113 in Brisbane—were in 1977.
In the meantime, Cook, England’s second-best Test chief behind Joe Root, scored 148 at Adelaide in 2010, an unbeaten 244 at the MCG in 2017, 116 at Perth in 2006, 235 not out at the Gabba in 2010, and 189 at the SCG in 2011, a large portion of them being day hundreds.

Furthermore, as Sunil Gavaskar called attention to, Kohli is relatively close behind. Kohli is the most overwhelming of the three about scoring hundreds of years. He has three in Adelaide, two in Perth, and one each in Sydney and Melbourne. What’s more, with this BGT potentially being Virat Kohli’s last visit down under, Kohli could well satisfy Sunil Gavaskar’s desire.
Other than his assumptions from Virat Kohli, Gavaskar additionally communicated his longing to see India proceed with their series of wins in Australia. The Border Gavaskar Trophy has remained with India since around 2017, with the Men Dressed in Blue enrolling famous Test series wins in 2019–19 and 2020–21.
A long time ago, under Virat Kohli, India praised their lady Test series win in Australia, and after two years, with substitute skipper Ajinkya Rahane in control, India, playing with an exhausted crew, finished an exceptionally renowned dig out from a deficit series win.
