Kohli will be looking to get back to his best form in the Test format, as he has in the limited overs formats. After years of struggling with a lean patch, the 33-year-old has managed a stunning return to form in white ball cricket.
Rohit Sharma-led Team India is set to face Australia in a four-match Border Gavaskar Test Series, which will begin on February 9. The series takes on extra significance in 2023 for the Men in Blue, as a whitewash or 3-1 win will secure their entry into the final of the World Test Championship. The first Test match is scheduled to be played in Nagpur, starting Thursday.
