Virat Kohli Sydney Test Records: The caravan of the Indian cricket team has reached Sydney. Team India was defeated by host Australia by 184 runs in the Boxing Day Test match played in Melbourne. The Australian team captained by Pat Cummins is ahead 2-1 in the 5-match Test series. It has become important for the Indian team to win the fifth test. After the defeat in Melbourne, Team India’s hopes of reaching the WTC final have suffered a setback. However, the Indian team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma can keep alive the hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship by winning the Sydney Test. The biggest matter of concern for Team India is the poor form of star batsman Virat Kohli. Virat had scored a brilliant century in the first Test played in Perth but after that runs were not coming from his bat. The team is suffering the consequences of this in the form of defeat. Since the Indian team now has to play the last Test in Sydney, what is Virat Kohli’s record here? It is important to know about this.
