The cricket world is heating up with anticipation as former Indian captain Virat Kohli prepares for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The fourth match in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, starts on Thursday, December 26.
Virat Kohli Batting In Nets
On Tuesday, December 24, Kohli was spotted fine-tuning his skills in the nets. Kohli faced India star bowlers Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna and the star batter appeared focused on rediscovering his lost rhythm.
His recent performance in the third Test at The Gabba was below par, with Kohli managing only three runs in India’s first innings. The rain-hit Brisbane Test eventually ended in a draw, leaving both teams eager for a decisive result in Melbourne.

It is important to note that Kohli’s form in the ongoing series has been a tale of highs and lows. His standout moment came in Perth, where his century was helped India win the first Test. However, his overall performance has been poor and inconsistent, with just 126 runs across six innings at an average of 30. Apart from his heroic knock in Perth Test, Kohli has struggled in the series, scoring only 26 runs in his other five innings.
Virat Kohli's Record At Melbourne Cricket Ground
The MCG has been a happy hunting ground for Kohli. Over the years, he has accumulated 316 runs at an average of 52.66 at this iconic venue. One of his most memorable innings here was a blistering 169 runs in the 2014 Boxing Day Test. This gritty knock showcased his flair and resilience. With the stakes so high, Kohli will surely look to channel his past success at the MCG to make a strong statement and help Team India burst onto the WTC finals.
