XtraTime Web Desk: India skipper Virat Kohli feels that the Australian cricket team will be aggressive during the test series but still he is confident about his team’s chances which is set to begin from December 6.
“Looking at how much experience we have gained in the last four years since we have been here, and how the team has played, we definitely feel we have what it takes to win Test matches away from home and, hopefully, this time around, a full series. We don’t want to have one or two exciting Tests, we want to be able to perform consistently and put in those hard yards every game that we play and not be satisfied at any stage,” The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Kohli saying in an interview to Macquarie Radio on Saturday.
“In terms of skill, in terms of experience, in terms of how we are playing, our mindset, we definitely feel we have the ability to win a series here,” he added.
During their last Test meeting in India back in 2016, Kohli had a verbal duel with Steve Smith. Following the heated arguments, the Indian captain had said that he doesn’t consider some of Australians as his friends anymore.
Despite of all the obstacles that the Aussies are facing, Kohli feels that the Aussies will maintain their aggressive play in the field and his team will have to overcome that in the series.
“We might not see the stuff that happened in the last series but I think in terms of their body language and the intent they have, I am sure they are still going to be aggressive in their minds, and that’s the way Australia has always played,” Kohli said.
