The third match of the Test series between India and Australia is to be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. Both teams are preparing to win at Gabba so that they can take the lead in the series. In this situation, the role of Virat Kohli, one of the most experienced players of the Indian team, becomes important. But the thing is that Virat Kohli's mood is not matching with the pitch of Gabba. We are not saying this casually but looking at Kohli's statistics in Test cricket for the whole year.

Will Virat change his history at Gabba?

Before we look at Virat Kohli's Test record for the whole year, let us also tell you that he has not scored a century on this ground in the whole of Australia. Now if Virat Kohli scores a century, then the history of his batting at Gabba will definitely change, if this happens then it is possible that the Indian team will also be successful in repeating history. India had won the last Test match played at Gabba.

However, how will all this happen? This is a big question. This question is because the nature of the pitch of Gaba is such. According to the pitch curator, the pitch of Gaba will be favorable to pace. It will have pace and bounce. Now if this is so, then it is not matching Virat Kohli's batting. At least this is what it seems after looking at his Test record for the year 2024.

If we look at Virat Kohli's record against pace and spin this year, then neither of them can be called better. The figures against pace are even worse, which is the real nature of the Gabba pitch.

Virat has scored 179 runs at an average of 25.57 in 12 Test innings played against pace so far in the year 2024. During this, he has been out 7 times. Whereas in 9 Test innings against spin, he has scored 197 runs at an average of 32.33 and has been out 6 times.
