"If He Is Mentally...": Australia Great's Honest Analysis Of Virat Kohli's Potential Form In WTC Final

Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell believes that the Oval conditions will suit the star Indian batter Virat Kohli as the Indian team prepares to face Australia in the World Test Championship final 2023. In less than three days' time, India will feature in their second consecutive WTC final.

While speaking in the Backstage with Boria show on Revsportz, Chappell said, "Virat Kohli was asked a lot of questions in England in 2014 and 2021 by Anderson, Broad and the rest of the English bowlers.
