Kohli Can Shine at MCG: Hayden’s Big Statement Before Boxing Day Test

Matthew Hayden on Virat Kohli: The fourth Boxing Day Test match of the ongoing BGT series between Australia and India will be played from 26 December at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

However, before the start of this match, a big statement came from former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden on Virat Kohli.

Kohli’s Struggles in the Series

Hayden is confident that Virat Kohli’s bat will be seen performing brilliantly in Melbourne. Let us tell you that in the ongoing series, if we leave aside Kohli’s century in the second innings of the first Test match held at Optus Stadium in Perth, then he has not been able to perform anything special. Kohli has been able to score only 126 runs in 6 innings played during three Test matches

Matthew Hayden’s Advice for Kohli

Let us tell you that before the Boxing Day Test match, Matthew Hayden, while discussing with Star Sports about Virat Kohli, said – there could have been a win, there could have been a loss, you can make a list of a hundred different things, where Virat Kohli would have batted brilliantly during his career. But he has a good track record at Melbourne.

He just needs to find a way to stay on the track. The line outside off stump is something he can resist. My suggestion to him is to get in front of the line and focus on playing more on the ground.

I think he plays a great cover drive, but at one point even Sachin Tendulkar had given up playing the cover drive for a while. Then he started playing it his way. Virat Kohli is a big personality, and I am sure he will do well in Melbourne.
