IND vs AUS / Kohli is deliberately trying to fight... This veteran's shocking claim

IND vs AUS: Indian cricket team's star player Virat Kohli's name is constantly in the news on the Australia tour. But this time the reason for the discussion is not his brilliant performance, but controversies and fights. During the Melbourne Test, many incidents came to light regarding Virat, which shocked the cricket world. These incidents have forced not only the fans, but also the experts to question Virat's behavior.

Start of controversies

In the Melbourne Test, Virat was first seen having a heated argument with an Australian reporter. Soon after, he faced 19-year-old Australian young opener Sam Constus on the field, which made the situation more tense. After these incidents, the Australian media targeted Virat.

Aaron Finch's claim

Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has given his opinion on these incidents. He said on the "Around the Wicket" podcast that Virat Kohli is probably deliberately pushing himself into these controversies. According to Finch, Virat is a player who performs better under pressure. He believes that Virat chooses these types of situations so that he can take his game to a different level.

Performance is being affected

Despite the controversies, however, Virat played some good innings in the Melbourne Test. Cricket experts also believe that after a long time Virat was seen returning to his old form. But his instability still remains a problem. After the fight with Sam Constas and the run out of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat's attention was diverted, due to which he was again seen getting out on the balls of the off stump.

Decline in figures

Virat Kohli has a history of great performance against Australia. But this time in the tour he has failed to leave his mark. In the four matches played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he has scored only 167 runs at an average of 27.83. His situation was even worse in 2024, where in 19 innings he could score 417 runs at an average of only 24.52.

Way forward

The lack of consistency and discipline in Virat Kohli's game is taking a toll on his performance. However, there is no question about his ability. Cricket experts believe that Virat should stay away from controversies and focus on his game.

Conclusion

Fans and the team have expectations from an experienced player like Virat Kohli. Instead of controversies, if he focuses on his game, not only will his batting improve, but there will also be a positive change in the performance of the team.
