Meanwhile, it will be a golden opportunity for the visitors as Australia have struggled to produce results in the recent past.

“You can never underestimate any side, and we have come here to compete against the whole Australian team. We haven’t played Australia after everything that has happened so I cannot really say what the atmosphere is going to be on the ground like,” Kohli said.

The talismanic run-scorer, who has done the bulk of the scoring for India, will look to continue with his job. In a bid to do so, he was training hard at the nets. In the middle of his batting practice, Kohli, known for his jolly behaviour was seen signaling a six in a sarcastic way after thrashing a bowler hard.
