Melbourne: Virat Kohli is the batsman in the world who has the behavior of getting under opposition’s pores and skin, feels Australia captain Tim Paine. Recollecting their on-field spat throughout the 2018-19 collection Down Under, the 36-year-old stated he’ll all the time “remember” the “competitive” Indian skipper
“For Virat Kohli, I’ve said many times, he seems like the type of player you would love to have on your team. He is competitive. He is the best batsman in the world,” Paine stated on the ‘Gilly and Goss‘ podcast.
“He (Kohli) is challenging to play against and he can get under your skin because he is so good and he is so competitive.”
India, led by Kohli, loved an unprecedented summer season Down Under in 2018-2019, profitable the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2-1, their first-ever Test collection win on the Australian soil and the 2 skippers have been concerned in a number of on-field tussles throughout the collection.
