India’s tour to Australia is still a few months away and the excitement has already reached its peak. Virat Kohli-led Indian team is slated to travel to Australia this October for three-match T20I series. The two teams will later clash in 4 Test-match series and three ODI series as well with the first to be played at The Gabba from December 3. The last time Kohli’s team visited Australia, they scripted history as India won the series 2-1, becoming the first Asian nation to win a Test series in the country.
The former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly revealed that he has already spoken to Kohli about the series and told him that he expects him to win in Australia this year as well.
“So for me, that is what it is. Because you have set the standards. It’s not anybody else. So you have to live up to the standards’,” Ganguly further added.
Ganguly further said that he has been in touch with Kohli and is constantly speaking to the team on fitness levels amid the ongoing global pandemic. “I have been in touch with him [Kohli], telling him, ‘you have got to stay fit.’ You haven’t played cricket for six months, you don’t want your fast bowlers to come back and get injured. They have been training, [but] training and playing cricket is different,” he said.
