Such has been his lean patch that Kohli has dropped out of the top 20 ICC Men\u2019s Test batting rankings. \u201cYour juices are flowing, you're charged up. It's again a case with Virat. You want to see calmness because at times you are over-eager to get out there and throw the first punch,\u201d said Shastri on the ICC Review show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut I think that calmness in the first half an hour where he gets out to bat or in the first three innings of the series will be extremely important. If he can be calm and play the game at his own pace rather than being in a hurry, I think he'll be fine,\" said the former India captain and head coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 13 games in Australia, a country he\u2019s toured since 2011, Kohli has amassed 1352 runs at an average of 54.08, including six centuries and four fifties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWell, the King is back in his territory. That's all I will tell them. When you've earned that title after your exploits in Australia, it will be on your (opponent's) mind when you go out to bat,\u201d added Shastri, who was the head coach when India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in 2018\/19 and 2020\/21 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
