Aussies wary of Kohli comeback: Starc

TIL Desk Sports/Australian pacer Mitchell Starc today said his team is wary of a strong comeback by Indian skipper Virat Kohli, whose early dismissals were a major factor in the visitors’ opening Test triumph here.

Kohli could only managed scores of 0 and 13 in his two innings in the Pune Test where India plunged to a humiliating 333-run loss, their first against Australia at home in almost 13 years. Starc dismissed him in the first innings for a duck and it was a rare failure for the Indian captain who has struck four double hundreds in as many series.

“He’s a class player, we all know that. He’s scored a mountain of runs already this year. We’re going to have to be wary of that Virat comeback,” Starc told reporters here. “We know Kohli is going to be another key wicket for the rest of the series. There’s six more times we’ve got to get him out to really cement this series,” he added.
