'We've played a.: Mitchell Starc Eager to Add Another Chapter To His Rivalry With Virat Kohli in BGT

Virat Kohli is a prized scalp for every bowler in international cricket. The modern-day India great has dominated the batting scene for over a decade and in the process he has bullied some of the most fearsome bowlers. Kohli has been incessantly piling up runs in all formats of the game and against all the nations. However, when it comes to Australia, King Kohli has a special place for them. From Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon to Pat Cummins, Virat Kohli has always risen against the challenge posed by the Aussies, and with the Border Gavaskar Series in the sights, the onus will once again be on Virat Kohli to diffuse the intensity of Australia.

Mitchell Starc On Facing the Challenge of Virat Kohli

While there is still considerable time left for the start of the India vs Australia 5-Test affair, both the camps are hyped up for what's ahead. In lines with the same, star Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has opened up on his rivalry with Virat Kohli , saying he thoroughly relishes the "good battles" with the Indian batting maestro. The two cricketers will renew their rivalry when India and Australia face off in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting in Perth from November 22.

"I enjoy my battles with Virat Kohli , it's because we've played a lot of cricket against one another," Starc told

"I always have some good battles. I've managed to get him out once or twice and he's no doubt scored a fair few runs against me so it's always a good contest and one we both enjoy." 

India won the trophy in the last four series, from 2016-17 to 2022-23. India had defeated Australia in their own backyard in the last two series in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
