The visiting side At the storied Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Team India has already started practicing in preparation for the forthcoming “Boxing Day” event. Some of the best Indian hitters, including Virat Kohli, were spotted working hard in the nets before to the fourth Test.
Although the two-time world champion is now not playing at his best in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024–25), he has statistically beaten one of their fiercest opponents in Australia. Against the powerful Australians, Kohli has amassed over 2,000 runs and averages an outstanding 46.12. The Delhi-based batter is hence regarded as a youth icon both domestically and internationally.
A video that went viral on social media provided a clear illustration of this. As the Indian hitters practiced in the nets at the MCG, a parent could be seen in the footage. While seeing the practice, the Australian father pointed to his kid and referred to him as the “best batter in the world.” Additionally, he requested that his son closely observe Kohli’s batting.

In Melbourne, Virat Kohli averages over 50.
Speaking of Virat Kohli, the batsman from India opened the BGT 2024–25 Test series against Australia in Perth with an exciting undefeated century (100*). But ever since, he has been unable to go forward due to his ongoing outside-the-off-stump dilemma. The forthcoming Test match will take place in Melbourne, where the batting master has performed exceptionally well.
In his three appearances at the MCG thus far, Virat Kohli has amassed two half-centuries and a century. He had an incredible average of 52.57 during these games. He faced a fearsome pace attack that comprised players like Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, and Josh Hazlewood, respectively, in 2014 when he scored his most memorable 169 runs against Australia. Therefore, Kohli would be eager to get back to his batting form in the next Test match.
