He against me… Mitchell Starc made a big statement about Virat, there is a clash in the Border Gavaskar Trophy
Team India is to tour Australia later this year, where the 5-Test Border Gavaskar series will be played between the two teams. This Test series will also be the last Test series of the Indian team in the World Test Championship 2023-25. This series will start on November 22 and will be played till the beginning of next year. The rhetoric about this series has already intensified in Australia. Now fast bowler Mitchell Starc has given a big statement about Virat Kohli.
Australia's fast bowler Mitchell Starc has opened up about his rivalry with Virat Kohli and said that he enjoys competing against Virat Kohli. Starc told Star Sports, 'I enjoy my battle with Virat Kohli. This is because we have played a lot of cricket against each other. There have been some good contests between us. I have been successful in getting him out once or twice and there is no doubt that he has scored a lot of runs against me. So it is always a good contest which we both enjoy a lot.'
Let us tell you, these two cricketers will once again face each other in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting between India and Australia in Perth on November 22. The matches of this series will be played on the grounds of Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. This also includes a day-night test match. The last time a day-night test was played between these two teams, Virat Kohli was the captain of Team India. Team India had to face a shameful defeat in that match. In such a situation, Virat would want to take revenge for that defeat.
