The Australian stars heaped praises on Virat Kohli ahead of the much-awaited Border Gavaskar trophy later in the year while talking about their plans against the former Indian skipper.
As the BGT approaches, the Aussie stars were asked about their strategies to unsettle Virat Kohli in the series where Mitchell Starc admitted to having no plans of trying to sledge Virat.
On the other hand, Marnus Labuschagne narrated an incident where he tried to get into the Indian batter’s head in the past. Mitchell Marsh also funnily talked about tackling the Indian once he settles down in the middle.
How is Australia planning to unsettle Virat Kohli during Border Gavaskar Trophy?
Alex Carey didn’t even take a second to admit that there was no way to do so saying, “[There are no ways to unsettled Virat] Not that I’ve come across.”
The experienced speedster, Starc, on the other hand, has decided not to indulge in any sort of talking with the Indian legend and ignite the fire inside of him.
“From all the reports, you don’t talk to him too much and certainly don’t sledge him. Bring Patty [Cummins] or Josh [Hazelwood] on and get one to nip away and nick him off.”
Labuschagne shared how he has previously tried to get inside Virat’s head and his plan of doing so again to force a false and unnecessary shot during an inning.
“I think I have tried a little bit of chat here and there and get him to enforce his dominance in the game. Try and get him hit a certain shot and talk him into playing a big drive,” said Labuschagne.
Mitchell Marsh had the most hilarious plan to stop Virat as he admitted of planning to tackle the batter if he settles down.
“Just tackle him. I might try that if he gets to 30, a big shoulder charge.”
