    Virat Kohli scripts an unwanted record in the Sydney Test

    Indian star batter Virat Kohli who is fondly called as “run machine” scripts an unwanted record during the fifth test of the BGT 2024-25 at Sydney. Virat Kohli who fumbles to retain his form back dismissed for 17 runs after facing 69 deliveries.

    During this struggling knock at Sydney, Virat Kohli registered an unwanted record by remaining boundary-less after facing 69 balls which turned out to be his longest in a Test innings.

    In the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Virat Kohli managed to score only 184 runs from eight innings at an average of 26.28.

    In the crucial test at Sydney, India opted to bat first after winning the toss. But India’s opening duo failed to lay a strong foundation as Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were dismissed for 10 and 4 respectively.

    Following a couple of early dismissals, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were expected to build a healthy partnership which could bring India back into the game. After Virat Kohli survived a close call in his very first delivery of the inning, the duo started to add runs without any hurry.

    While things were seen settled for the visitors, Nathan Lyon dismissed Shubman Gill for 20 runs. Lyon broke the 40-run stand between Virat Kohli and Gill while India slipped to 57 for three before lunch.

    Post the lunch, Scott Boland made a crucial wicket by dismissing Virat Kohli for 17 runs. Rishabh Pant and Jadeja stand at the crease while Indian fans cross their fingers, hoping things to change in their favour.

    Speaking of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Australia have an upper hand with a couple of victories while the visitors are under pressure to win the test to carry the trophy home.

    When we look back at the India National Cricket Team vs Australia Cricket Team Timeline, Australia hasn’t won the BGT title since the 2014/15 season.

    The Indian cricket team is scheduled to tour Australia to play five tests between 22 November 2024 and 7 January 2025. Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be the first Test series between India and Australia comprising five matches since 1992.
