Before the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the series of statements of Australian players has started. Everyone is very excited about this series. Recently, the star of the Australian fast bowling trio, Mitchell Starc, has spoken openly about his rivalry with Virat Kohli, saying that he thoroughly enjoys the match against Virat Kohli. Let us tell you, the India vs Australia 5-match Test series is going to start from November 22. In this series, the eyes of the fans will be on the battle of Kohli vs Starc.
Mitchell Starc told Sports on his rivalry with Virat Kohli, “I thoroughly enjoy my battle with Virat Kohli. This is because we have played a lot of cricket against each other.”
He said, “There have been some good contests between us. I have been able to get him out once or twice and there is no doubt that he has scored a lot of runs against me. So it is always a good contest which we both enjoy thoroughly.”
Two big records ahead of Virat Kohli
Both Starc and Kohli are aiming to make big achievements in the upcoming Test matches, although Kohli is more likely to do so. Kohli has 8848 Test runs with 29 centuries. Just one more century will make him the fourth Indian batsman to score 30 Test centuries after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar.
Apart from this, Kohli will also have the figure of 10,000 Test runs in his mind. Although he is 1152 runs behind this, India has to play 5 Test matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home before the 5 match Test series against Australia. If Kohli remains in great form, he can achieve this record in 20 innings.
