Now it appears it won't be the last as India is defacto into the final of ICC WTC 2025. With second place up for grab

WTC win can’t be his final frontier it was invented in last legs for him.Nah Kohli-led India won in Australia in 2018-19.
Winning a test series in SA and NZ would be his final frontiers alongside WTC win but watching him bat these days is painful.
Different from how he was batting during his lean run in 2020-21.
Kohli had the most number of memorable performance against Pakistan than any players played in history of limited over cricket .Now his career will be tainted by the absence of playing in Pakistan.
it pains me so much to see such posts on kohli on twitter....he's not even in the top 50 batsmen in test cricket but still somehow manages to get the attention which he doesn't deserve.
Very good PR machine.it pains me so much to see such posts on kohli on twitter....he's not even in the top 50 batsmen in test cricket but still somehow manages to get the attention which he doesn't deserve.
He is the greatest superstar of this generation and a GOAT in limited overs, there's a reason why the whole aussie media is after him. Iconic player who defined an era of cricket.it pains me so much to see such posts on kohli on twitter....he's not even in the top 50 batsmen in test cricket but still somehow manages to get the attention which he doesn't deserve.
One draw for sure due to rain.Australia have beaten India in WTC and ODI WC. I expect Aussies to win again (4-1 or 5-0).
This is definitely not hte last frontier. He has already won it. Won World T20, under-19, world cup, CT. Nothing left for him. He should have retired gracefully 3 or 4 years back from Tests.It indeed appears to be the last frontier, but like Babar he has a mamooth even bigger fan following
Current Indian team is scratchy due to form and age. So i say their performance level will be like 30%. Not the usual 70 to 80% like they were in 2018, 2021. This team won't challenge Australia even in a rain affected match. Australia won't get a better opportunity to get their revenge for 4 series losses on the trot something they have never done against any side except England (1880s, 1950s, 1980s) and West Indies (1980s). Especially after they became invincible in the 2000s they haven't lost 4 series in a row to anyone.One draw for sure due to rain.
One could be a flattish pitch. So 3 0 Australia. I would say
If india drop kohli rohit and kl, we can beat any team imo.Current Indian team is scratchy due to form and age. So i say their performance level will be like 30%.

Dhoni missed the chance to retire with grace and may be he wants to be next DhoniThis is definitely not hte last frontier. He has already won it. Won World T20, under-19, world cup, CT. Nothing left for him. He should have retired gracefully 3 or 4 years back from Tests.
I don't believe in this if you go hard at time blah blah. Point is even if he gets rilled up he won't do a jack. That time he had that confidence of getting into someone's nerve because he knew he can back it up with his performance. Now you just bowl at 5th stump continuously and than out of 6 balls bowl one at the 2nd stump line he will give you wicket.Glenn McGrath speaking during an interview:
“If they go hard at him, if he gets in the fight with emotions, there’s a bit of chat out there, who knows he might sort of lift.”
“But I think he’s probably under pressure a little bit, and if he has a couple of low scores to start with, he could really feel it.
“I think he’s quite an emotional player. When he’s up, he’s up, and when he’s down, he sort of struggles a little bit.”
“Without a doubt, especially after coming off a 3-0 loss against New Zealand, you’ve got plenty of ammunition to back yourself up.”
“So put the pressure on them and see if they’re up for it.”
Chalo g.Mitchell Johnson said "One of Kohli’s attributes stood out early to me above all others – he was up for the fight, That kind of aggressive attitude was something we had rarely seen from an Indian player at that point. We were used to giving it but didn’t always get it back in return
Shewag, ganguly all gave it back plenty of times. He'll bhaji did too.Mitchell Johnson said "One of Kohli’s attributes stood out early to me above all others – he was up for the fight, That kind of aggressive attitude was something we had rarely seen from an Indian player at that point.

None can match the Virat Kohli when comes to giving it back to Australian .Shewag, ganguly all gave it back plenty of times. He'll bhaji did too.
Is he gonna give it to them this time as well???None can match the Virat Kohli when comes to giving it back to Australian .
If Australian have the guts to try sledging him ,than do it . after that you'll see how the King Roar and give it back to them.Is he gonna give it to them this time as well???
I don't think so.
Aussies are not going to sledge him. The thing with Australian players over the years is they mostly go after younger players. Once a player becomes a legend and earn respect, they never sledge them. Aussies never used to sledge Tendulkar back in the days and will not do it against Kohli either this time. If anything he will get standing ovation in every ground considering it may be his last tour there just like how Tendulkar got in 2012 tour.Is he gonna give it to them this time as well???
I don't think so.
He will give it back this time too. Except he will give his actual back as he walks towards the stands after getting bamboozled by cummins and Lyon again for low scores. Yet again.Is he gonna give it to them this time as well???
I don't think so.
It's a myth that rohit sharma is some legend vs short ball.Virat Kohli's Short-Pitched Struggle Exposed In Simulation Game: Report
In need of a much-needed confidence boost, India's talismanic Virat Kohli is coming into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the back of a woeful performance against New Zealand. India lost the home series against the Kiwis 0-3, incurring a never-seen-before whitewash in a 3-match assignment. One of the biggest factors behind India's poor show in the series was a string of poor shows by seniors like Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma. As India prepare for the opening Test against Australia at Perth, Kohli's struggles against short deliveries have become public.
In the 3-day simulation game against India A, Kohli was dismissed for just 15 runs when he came out to bat for the first time. Most of the Indian batters struggled against India A pacers, particularly Mukesh Kumar who put on a terrific show.
Kohli came out to bat for the second time on Day 2, remaining unbeaten on 30 runs before he went to the nets and did some customised practice. While his performances in the middle didn't instill a lot of confidence, it has been reported by ESPNCricinfo that the 36-year-old batter struggled quite a lot against short-pitched bowling.
The wicket at Perth is not to produce extra bounce, something that Indian batters aren't used to facing on subcontinent surfaces. With Rohit, arguably India's best when it comes to facing short-pitched deliveries, not playing in the match, Australians are expected to use this weapon quite a lot.
In fact, Australia's pace great Glenn McGrath has asked his team to put the Indian team under early pressure, especially by targeting Kohli, and pin the tourists. While Kohli has traditionally responded to pressure situations well, his confidence isn't on his side at the moment.
McGrath expects Kohli to hit another low if he departs with low scores in the first couple of innings.
Virat Kohli's Short-Pitched Struggle Exposed In Simulation Game: Report | Cricket News
Virat Kohli scored 15 and 30 not-out during his two outings in the simulation game. But, struggled quite a lot against short-pitched bowling.sports.ndtv.com
Overall Virat Kohli has 11 tons in Australia, more than any other visiting batter in history of cricket.If Kohli manages to score at least one century in the next five matches against Australia, he will overtake Sachin Tendulkar and top the list of Indian batters with the most Test centuries in Australia.
Enough hype guys. He is old. He doesn't have the same reflexes. He just can't wait to go back to his home land england. If he scores a 50 that is a great achievement.There is remarkable difference between Kohli 7 years back and now. He is unrecognizable. Even the great players after loss of reflex, judgement struggled. Viv Richards towards the end of the career looked poor with loss of reflexes and he pushed himself down the order. There was a time he would step out every single ball against spinner and meet each time without getting beaten. Now he has become like how MSD was at the end of his career agianst spin.India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel lauded Virat Kohli’s impact on the team during pre-match press conference:
“The intensity and professionalism he brings is top-notch, always putting himself under pressure in nets."
“For youngsters to witness that, it’ll take their game to a different level."
"A lot of people would see how we go about our business here. But our key message is that it is important for us to put that aside. For any cricketer, when you come to Australia, you want to do well. This is where you make a name for yourself — on one of the biggest stages in the world to play cricket."
the way he started this series it more seems like this going to be his last Test series
Are you enjoying the king batting?the way he started this series it more seems like this going to be his last Test series
There is the classy performance, almost taking the game far far away from Australia.Miandad was not awful at fag end of his career, Sachin was also fine but Virat so far hasn't displayed any classy performances yet especially in Tests.
An advise to king doubters , Don't take King lightly even he is woundedAn advice to Indian friends, don't take the risk
Nearly 500 days after his last Test century, The King is back@FearlessRoar King has conquered australia yet again .
Seventh test century by King Kohli in Australia,most by any Forgien player's in the history of test cricket
Never doubts the GOAT .
Some players are not even scored a century in australia even during their peaks .King has scored seven test century.Nearly 500 days after his last Test century, The King is back
Congratulations
Lol...where is the King and his cavalry when you need them the most... SF 2015, Final 2023, WTC 2022...and we may see some more. Anyway great innings by Kohli after a great whileAn advise to king doubters , Don't take King lightly even he is wounded
Kohli's performance in SENA are much better. For some reasons people here value sena runs a lot moreYounis is very underrated by Pakistanis here. For all his weaknesses he was a great teat batsman. He often looked at sea against pace but you don't score 34 centuries and 10k runs for fun. He scored more centuries than kohli in same no of matches and kohli has been praised as one of the best of this generation
Bradman achieved in way less test matches though.Virat Kohli with his 30th Test century surpassed legendary Australian Sir Don Bradman, who had 29 Test hundreds to his name.
Playing spin is as great as paying pace. Its just subcontinent people insecurityKohli's performance in SENA are much better. For some reasons people here value sena runs a lot more
Some of it is true but SENA teams on average have been/are better then subcontinent teamsPlaying spin is as great as paying pace. Its just subcontinent people insecurity
Yet Australia owned them in 2015 and 2023 in their home ground evenKohli is the father of Australia and Pakistan cricket team.
