Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath has advised Australian players to put pressure on Virat Kohli. This 54 year old veteran said- ‘Kohli who is out of form will be under the pressure of a bad start. Kangaroos should put pressure on them. He has enough ammunition to target emotional Kohli.
Australian media house Fox Cricket quoted McGrath on Code Sports as saying – ‘There is no doubt that they will be under pressure after the 3-0 defeat against New Zealand. You have enough weapons to strengthen yourself. So put pressure on them and see if they are ready for it or not.
Fox wrote- ‘Kohli, who has been the leader of Indian batting for more than a decade, is struggling with poor form. His average in 6 matches this year has been 22.72. Injured Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the first Test and captain Rohit Sharma’s participation is also doubtful. In such a situation, Kohli will feel the pressure of leading the batting lineup.

Talking about Glenn McGrath…
If Kohli struggles with emotions, he will be dealt with harshly, but I think he is probably under a bit of pressure and if he scores a few lows early on, he might really feel it. I think he is a very emotional player. When he’s up, he’s up, and when he’s down, he struggles a little.
McGrath also warned – do not show too much aggression. McGrath has also warned his players that targeting Kohli more aggressively can also excite them. Especially when they are successful in keeping their emotions under control. Let us tell you that Kohli has scored runs at an impressive average of 54.08 in the last four tours of Australia.
