Aus vs Ind: Kohli's Absence A Boost For Australians, Incentive For Indians, Says Sunil Gavaskar

By IANS News December 15, 2020 • 16:23 PM View: 2092

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.
