Australia pacer Mitchell Starc has said that he is looking forward to the battle with Virat Kohli during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will start in November. Kohli has been a modern-day great when it comes to the India vs Australia matches. His battle with Starc could be one of the key ones that could decide the series.
Speaking to Star Sports, Starc said that he always has good battles against the star batter and has got him out a couple of times. The pacer also admitted that Kohli has had success against him during BGT and their battle is something that both men enjoy.
“I enjoy my battles with Virat Kohli just because we’ve played a lot of cricket against one another. I always have some good battles. I’ve obviously got him once or twice and he’s no doubt scored a fair few runs against me. So, it’s always a good contest and one we both enjoy,” said Starc.
Kohli and Starc have faced each other in 19 innings with the Indian batter having scored 236 runs from 394 deliveries at an average of 59. The Australian pacer has dismissed Kohli 4 times during this time.
