The Border-Gavaskar Series is just around the corner as Team India eye their third successive series win against the Australian team. However, this time the challenge has increased twice since India need to defeat them by a margin of 4-0 to seal their place in the WTC finale.

With just 7 days left for the start of the series, all the members of the Test team, barring skipper Rohit Sharma have touch down in Perth, the venue for the first Test. Virat Kohli was the first to reach and the others came in batches as Team India's net session commenced under the watchful eyes of the coaching team.

All eyes were also on Virat Kohli as he gears up to take on his favourite opposition - Australia. Kohli, has been woefully out of touch in Tests and will look to redeem himself, Down Under. Kohli has always performed in Australia and the former Test skipper will hold the key to India's fortunes.

Ahead of the first Test, Virat Kohli took part in India's net session and looked in rhythm. He looked confident and played quite a few defensive shots on the back-foot as he looks to make runs vs his favourite opponent.

All eyes on Kohli as Australian media focuses on the 'King'

Virat Kohli is the poster boy of Indian cricket and his arrival in Australia is celebrated like a festival. Almost all the leading newspapers in Australia have kept Kohli on their front-page as they keep an eye on their favourite Indian star.

This is also the mind-games which the Aussie media is playing with Kohli. The India star will be under tremendous pressure after his poor run of form in the New Zealand Tests and will be eyeing a big total in Perth itself.
