When India last met AUS in a Test match, Ex-India skipper Virat Kohli had famously ended his century drought in the longest format of the game. Kohli slammed a sensational century as he ended a staggering wait of 1205 days at Ahmedabad. Kohli is expected to lead the batting charge of Rohit Sharma and Co. in the upcoming final of WTC.

Know what Gavaskar said –

Virat Kohli embraced a lean patch before regaining top form across all formats. Talking about Kohli’s form ahead of the World Test Championship final, batting legend Sunil Gavaskar pointed out that luck deserted the ex-India skipper during his lean phase.

Gavaskar told Star Sports – “Every player goes through things called bad patch or lean patch. So I think that was what was happening. Then later on once he started to get the runs, you would again have noticed that in the early stages, he was having a bit of luck.”

Gavaskar added –

“The inside edges were going near the stumps but not hitting the stumps, the catches being dropped or the catches being just a little bit away from the fielder. So that little bit of luck that every batter needs, which had deserted him in that barren period, he has got it back.”
