Kohli is a celebrity. He is a superstar and has been for a very long time. He has a strong sense of enthusiasm for his playing style. He has a strong enthusiasm for his team. He has his heart on his sleeves and wants to win.

Superstar athletes all throughout the globe produce and develop it. And it comes in a wide range of degrees. Superstar athletes all throughout the globe produce and develop it. And it comes in a wide range of degrees.

You consider other athletes, such as Steve Smith, who is jeered when he steps onto the field in the United Kingdom. On the ICC Review Show, Ponting said, “I mean, that’s all part of, I guess, the theater that comes with international sports.”

Kohli’s average of 22.72 in his six Test matches this season is much lower than his lifetime average of 47.83 and his average of 54.08 in Tests in Australia. However, he is anticipated to perform at his peak in the next five-match series, which begins on November 22 at Perth Stadium, after having scored some of his historic hundreds in Australia and guiding India to a 2-1 series victory here in 2018/19.

On this crucial trip of Australia, Ponting said he expects Kohli to take on a lot of batting responsibilities for India. What Ravi (Shastri) had to say about wanting to take all the bullets in Australia the previous time was something I looked at. And you expect it from your top players and leaders.

“You need to have your veteran players on the field and, if you want, act as the guardians of the younger players in that team when you go overseas and you know that the nation and the local media are against you.

“There is no question in my mind that Virat, Rohit Sharma, and Bumrah would all approach this trip in that manner. He came to the conclusion that the senior men needed to take the initiative and lead the way.
