India vs Australia: Virat Kohli set to face his favourite opponents in T20 Internationals

India vs Australia: Star batter Virat Kohli has returned to form in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 and will be key to India's chances when Australia visit for a three-match T20I series.

All eyes will once again be on star batter Virat Kohli when India take on Australia in a three-match T20I series, starting on September 20 at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. Kohli will be heading into the Australia series with confidence after a fantastic T20I hundred against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022.

Kohli, who returned to form and finished as India's leading run-scorer in the Asia Cup 2022, will be all geared up for his favourite T20I opponents Australia at the iconic Mohali ground. Not to forget, Kohli's greatest T20I innings came against Australia at the same venue in the 2016 T20 World Cup when he played a blistering 82-run knock.

KOHLI's RETURN TO FORM

Kohli was going through a lean patch of form when he left for the Asia Cup 2022, but the one-month break did wonders for him as the star batter looked in vintage touch as he led the charge of India's batting throughout the continental tournament.

Kohli not only scored two fifties in the Asia Cup 2022 but also ended his 1020-day drought of an international hundred as he slammed his maiden T20I hundred against Afghanistan to finish as the second-highest run-scorer in the Asia Cup 2022. Kohli amassed 276 runs from 5 matches at an average of 92 and a healthy strike rate of 147.

KOHLI vs AUSTRALIA IN T20Is

Virat Kohli just loves scoring runs against the Australian team in T20Is and ranks at the top of the list of leading run-scorers against the Kangaroo side. The 33-year-old batter has amassed 718 runs against Australia in just 19 T20Is and those runs have come at a stellar average of 59.83.
