Sunil Gavaskar Sends Fiery "Very Very Hungry Virat Kohli" Warning To Australian Team

Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar highlighted Virat Kohli's previous consistent performances on Adelaide and Perth grounds, adding that his past success against Australia in these venues will give him the extra bit of confidence during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Kohli averages just 22.72 in his six Test matches this year, way below than his average of 54.08 in Tests in Australia and his overall career average of 47.83. He comes into his fifth Australia tour after making just 91 runs in India's 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand at home earlier this month.

Head threw his support behind the Indian batting mainstay, who managed a mere 93 runs across three Tests against New Zealand at a forgettable average of 15.50 in his last assignment at home just before the tour of Australia.
