Pat Cummins statement on Virat Kohli: Australian captain Pat Cummins has said that it would be sad if the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is Virat Kohli’s last Test series. Let us tell you, the fifth and last match of the five-match series was played between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, in which India had to face defeat by 6 wickets. With this defeat, the Indian team is out of the race for the final of the ICC World Test Championship, while Australia has got the ticket for the final by winning this match and will have to face South Africa.

Virat Kohli has flopped badly on the current tour. Virat Kohli has scored 190 runs in 9 innings of 5 matches at an average of 23.75 and strike rate of 47.97. If we exclude the century he scored in the Perth match in the series, Kohli is struggling to score runs. India has suffered a 1-3 defeat in the series and in such a situation Kohli is the target of critics.

“It’s always been a wonderful competition. Apart from just scoring runs, he brings a bit of theater to the game which is sometimes good and sometimes bad,” Pat Cummins said of Virat Kohli in his post-match presentation after the Sydney Test. “Can harass you as an opposition, which I’m sure is part of their plans.”

Pat Cummins said, “Really enjoyed playing with him. You know, he has been one of the star batsmen for the last decade. You know, if you get his wicket, it goes a long way in winning the game.” “Helps, yes, it would be sad if this is his last series.”

During this, Pat Cummins admitted that he benefited from the absence of Jasprit Bumrah on the last day of the series. He said, “Every time he bowled, he made an impact and took important wickets. There is no doubt that we benefited from his not playing.”

He called it an internal issue of the Indian team but expressed surprise that Rohit Sharma kept himself out of the last Test due to poor form. He said, “When the captain does not play, it is surprising. We were surprised even at the time of Ashwin’s retirement, but it does not make any difference to us.”

Cummins said, “You just see which playing eleven you have to face.” He described the victory against India as very big as they had lost the home series to India twice last time.

He said, “This is a big win. This is a big series in Australia. The whole series has been ups and downs, so it feels good to win 3-1. The icing on the cake is that we are in the World Test Championship final.”
