India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli has been putting hard yards in the nets ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter, who reached Australia ahead of the entire team, is getting in the groove for the first Test against the Australia National Cricket Team.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be beginning on 22nd November at the WACA Stadium in Perth. India National Cricket Team are grinding hard at the venue and are making sure that they leave no stone unturned heading into the first game of the five-match Test series.
All the spotlight is on the premier batter, Kohli, as he has become the center of attraction for the Australian media. They have been providing all the updates about the batter, especially the training that he has been putting on in the nets to prepare for the first Test match of the series.
Kohli has looked focused in the nets and has been batting pretty well in the nets. The premier batter was even troubled by the bounce, but he has been putting in the extra yards to rectify his errors and get back to his best ahead of the start of the series.

This comes to a massive development, especially with the batter going through a lean patch and failing to score runs. Him going to the pub surely would become the point of discussion as hardly such type of activities are followed by him.
Virat Kohli will have a point to prove in BGT 2024-25
Going into the series, Kohli will have a point to prove. The batter hasn’t been at his best in Test cricket for the last few years. What has been surprising is that he has been struggling to get going against both pacers as well as the spinners.
Kohli, who averaged above 50 in Test cricket from 2016 to 2019, has witnessed a massive downfall. In the last 34 Tests, he has scored 1838 runs at an average of 31.68, to go with two centuries.
In 2024, Kohli looked completely out of sorts with the bat. The premier batter has been averaging 22.72 in six matches so far this year. This also has been the first time in 10 years that he has slipped out of the top-20 list in the ICC Test rankings. He failed in the entire home season as well as mustered under 200 runs in 5 games.
