In recent ODIs against Australia, Virat Kohli has demonstrated remarkable consistency and skill, reinforcing his reputation as one of the world's leading batters.. Over his last five innings in these high-stakes encounters, Kohli has produced a series of impactful performances that have kept India competitive on the international stage. Here are the last five ODI innings of Virat Kohli against Australia.
In the third ODI of the tour, where India were chasing a modest 270 in Chennai, Kohli played a steady knock of 54 off 72 balls.
Although Rohit Sharma had given India a flying start, India could not capitalise on that, and despite the fifty from Kohli, India lost the match by 21 runs.
This knock also came during a chase. In the third ODI of the series in Rajkot, India were chasing a huge target of 353.
Rohit again gave a great start to India; meanwhile, Kohli played a steady knock of 56 off 61 balls, while batting at three.
India lost the match by 66 runs.
Kohli scored his third consecutive ODI fifty against Australia in Chennai in the fifth match of the series. This knock came in the second inning as India chased down 200 easily.
After a shaky start from the openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, Kohli steadied the ship with an 85 off 116 balls. KL Rahul, though, was the player of the match for his unbeaten 97.
This was perhaps one of the most important knocks of Virat Kohli. This 54 came in the final of ICC World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad.
After the loss of Rohit Sharma, Kohli tried to build a partnership with KL Rahul. However, after his 54 off 63 balls, he chopped one onto the stumps off Pat Cummins.
This was one of the most heartbreaking scenes during the World Cup as that wicket silenced the whole crowd.
