Australia's Pacer Plan: Targeting Kohli's Achilles Heel

Matthew Short, an Australia batter, shared insights on his team's approach to counter India’s cricket maestro Virat Kohli in the second ODI. With Kohli recently struggling outside the off stump, Short emphasized that the Australian pacers are gearing up to capitalize on this vulnerability.

Kohli, dismissed for a duck in the first match in Perth, faces the challenge of performing at the Adelaide Oval, a ground where he boasts impressive statistics. Kohli's return to the field alongside Rohit Sharma after a hiatus had fans excited, although both displayed rustiness in their performance.

As Australia holds a 1-0 lead, the upcoming face-off in Adelaide becomes crucial for India. Short also expressed gratification about sharing the field with such renowned players as the series progresses, with significant implications for future World Cup preparations.
