As India will face Australia in the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli. Throughout this series, he has experienced roller-coaster journey. His struggles have been evident in the series, as he was dismissed for just five runs in the first innings of the opening Test. 

The subsequent pink-ball match saw him depart for mere scores of 7 and 11 in his two innings, However, ray of hope emerged during the second innings of the second Test when the former India captain showcased his class and scored his 30th Test century of his career.

 As India seeks to reclaim the upper hand in the BGT, the stakes are particularly high after their setback in the Adelaide Test. With the series currently deadlocked at 1-1, the pressure is on Rohit Sharma and Co. as they will want to bounce back in the third Test.
