Although Kohli has always enjoyed hunting in Australia, the former captain of India has recently appeared to be completely out of touch in Test cricket.
From 2016 to 2019, Kohli routinely averaged more than 55 in Test matches annually. He really averaged 68.00 in 2019 and over 75 in 2016 and 2017. However, in last five years, Kohli has averaged 19.33 in 2020, 28.21 in 2021, 26.50 in 2022, 55.91 last year, and 22.72 so far this year.
He has scored just two centuries in the last five years, both of which came in 2023. He is coming off a horrendous New Zealand Test series where he scored just 93 runs in six innings with a best score of 70.
However, he would be hoping to return to form in Australia where he has an incredible record. He has scored 1,352 runs in 13 matches at an average of 54.08, including six centuries and another four fifties in his 25 innings.
