Australian cricket legend Glenn McGrath has called on the Australian team to adopt an aggressive approach against Virat Kohli in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. Known for his fiery competitiveness, Kohli is expected to be a key player for India, and McGrath believes exploiting his emotions could give Australia an edge.
“Kohli thrives on passion and intensity, but that can also make him vulnerable. Australia needs to put pressure on him early and challenge his mental strength,” McGrath said during a recent interview.
As one of cricket’s most formidable players, Kohli has often channeled his emotions into game-winning performances. However, McGrath suggests that the Australian bowlers focus on unsettling him, particularly in high-stakes moments.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has long been a stage for iconic rivalries, and the battle between Australia’s pace attack and Kohli’s batting prowess is set to be a key subplot. With McGrath’s strategic advice, the Australians may look to disrupt India’s plans by targeting their talismanic skipper.
As fans gear up for another thrilling chapter in this storied rivalry, all eyes will be on how Kohli handles the heat from the Australian team.
