Kohli Mania: Australian Newspapers Spotlight Indian Star Ahead of BGT
The Border Gavaskar Trophy is going to begin on November, for which the team India and Australia is engaged in fierce preparations, but more than the Indian cricket team and the Australian cricket team, there is someone else who is preparing fiercely for BGT, that is the Australian media. Australia's newspapers are not using their own players but King Kohli for the promotion. In the five-match Test series between Aussies and the Indian team, everyone's eyes will be on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both have not been in good form in the Test for a while. However, Virat is still on the covers of the Australian newspapers.
After the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The West Australia has also given Kohli a place on the front page. Australian newspapers are seen using Kohli to promote the Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia. Kohli arrived in Perth on Sunday. The first Test will be played there. Kohli's arrival in Australia is such a big deal that Australian newspapers are constantly giving this star cricketer a place on their front page. The West Australia wrote in big words on the front page – The Return of the King.
All the fans have their eyes on Perth and Kohli. After this, on another page, The West Australia wrote, 'Holly Kohli (Holy Kohli)'. King is ready to take over the world in his farewell series. Screenshots of this Australian media newspaper are becoming viral on social media. Earlier, The Telegraph described the series as a 'battle of the ages'. The same newspaper also had a section in Punjabi, which had an article on India's young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Its headline was, 'The Ninth King.' '
The Herald Sun has described this series as Virat Kohli's farewell series i.e. the last Test series on Australian soil. A report published in this newspaper on Tuesday said, "This summer Kohli is ready to bid farewell to these beaches". At the same time, this newspaper has described Yashasvi Jaiswal as the most noticed batsman in this series.
This action of the Australian media has surprised everyone. Virat Kohli has not looked in any special form in Tests this year. Many including head coach Gautam Gambhir feel that the Indian batting icon still has a lot of cricket left in him and he can score a lot of runs during the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
