Australia no longer takes India lightly: Kohli

Virat Kohli said that when the final match of the World Test Championship starts on Wednesday, the fight will be equal here. The charismatic batsman said that he is always motivated to perform well against Australia as they rarely give their opponents a chance to perform. This title match between India and Australia will be played at The Oval ground in England from Wednesday.

Kohli told ‘Star Sports’, ‘The rivalry was very tough in the beginning, the atmosphere was also very tense. But since then we have won twice in Australia. The rivalry has turned into respect and we are no longer taken lightly as a Test team. ‘ He said, ‘We can feel that respect, when we play against Australia, they realize that’ they (India) have beaten us twice in a row at home and it will be a battle of equals. ,

Both Australia and India have struggled at The Oval, with Australia winning just seven of their 38 Test matches, while India have managed only two wins in 14 matches here. Kohli said, ‘I think it will be challenging to play at the Oval, we will not get a flat wicket and the batsmen need to be careful. We have to focus on our concentration and discipline.
