After the draw at the Gabba, Team India is now gearing up for the fourth match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is set to be the most crucial game of the series. This highly anticipated match will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), and the Indian team is preparing intensively for the Boxing Day Test.
During their practice session, a fan introduced his son to Virat Kohli, saying, “Look at the fourth one, he’s Virat Kohli, the best batsman in the world.”
Look at a dad introducing Virat Kohli to his son at MCG in Australia. He saying "Look Virat Kohli, The Best Batsman in the Whole World". ❤️

Virat Kohli has long been one of the most dominant and formidable batters in international cricket. Over the years, he has accomplished remarkable feats in his career, surpassing cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting.
Kohli became the first player to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in One Day Internationals, and later went on to score his 50th ODI century, further cementing his legacy.
Kohli’s consistency across all formats has been unparalleled, with no one coming close to his achievements in white-ball cricket during this era. He also etched another significant milestone in his career by surpassing Ricky Ponting to become the second-highest century scorer in international cricket.
However, his recent form has raised concerns, as he has struggled to score runs across all formats, particularly in Test cricket. With an average of just 25 in the longer format, Kohli has found it challenging to return to his usual standards. In the ongoing BGT 2024-25, his performances have been underwhelming, with a solitary hundred in the second innings of the Perth Test. Apart from that, he has failed to make a significant impact with the bat.
In this series, Kohli has only managed to score 126 runs, a tally that does not reflect the true potential of a player of his caliber. Despite this, Kohli is a champion player, and it is only a matter of time before he rediscovers his form in the upcoming matches.
