Kohli's underwhelming tour of Australia   

Virat Kohli’s fifth tour of Australia turned out to be a challenging one. Despite starting on a high by becoming the batter with the most Test centuries on Australian soil during the Perth Test, Kohli’s overall performance left much to be desired. The 36-year-old accumulated just 190 runs across nine innings, averaging 23.75.

After his seventh Test ton in Perth, Kohli's form dwindled, managing only 85 runs in his last seven innings. India lost the series 1-3, adding to the woes. Kohli also found himself in the spotlight for controversial moments, including a shoulder bump with Australia’s Sam Konstas and a provocative sandpaper gesture aimed at the crowd—both incidents attracting criticism and ICC sanctions.
