India batting superstar Virat Kohli will be looking to score big in the ongoing third ODI against Australia after failing to do it in the first two games of the three-match series.
The former India skipper entered the series high on confidence after scoring a classy 186 in the fourth and final Test against the Aussies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The knock ended his long century drought. Prior to the knock in Ahmedabad, he had last scored a century way back in November 2019 during the Eden Gardens Test against Bangladesh.
Virat Kohli, however, could not capitalise on his form in the first two ODIs. In the first game in Mumbai, he was out for just 4. Mitchell Starc pinned him in front of the stumps although India went on to win the game by 5 wickets while chasing a modest 189 at the Wankhede Stadium.

In the second ODI in Vizag, he managed only 31 during a disastrous batting display by Team India. While Virat Kohli was the highest run-scorer for India, the hosts managed to score only 117. Australia had gone on to smash India by 10 wickets to draw level in the series.
Virat Kohli dancing ahead of third ODI:
While only time will tell how Virat Kohli performs in the ongoing game in Chennai, he has made it clear that there is absolutely no pressure on him. Before the start of the game, he was seen dancing his heart out as he and his teammates were getting ready to take the field. Kohli’s love for dance is now well known and he showed it once again to the cricket world.
