KOHLI’S ABSENCE INCENTIVE FOR INDIANS TO LIFT UP THEIR GAME: SUNIL GAVASKAR

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli’s absence in the last three Tests of the upcoming four-match series will be a huge boost to Australia considering his record Down Under where he has scored six centuries and three fifties in 12 Tests he has played so far, say Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border.

“I think it is a huge boost for the Australians, a man who has six hundreds in 12 Tests in Australia. It is a huge boost for Australians not to be bowling to Kohli in the last the three Tests,” said Gavaskar during a media interaction.

Kohli will be returning to India after the Adelaide Test (December 17-21) to be with his wife Anushka Sharma who is expecting their first child.

Border concurred with Gavaskar saying that absence of the 32-year-old will leave a huge gap in the Indian line-up.
