NEW DELHI: Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting highlighted that Virat Kohli's popularity in Australia stems from his passionate and aggressive approach to cricket, particularly in Test matches.
Following a challenging home season against Bangladesh and New Zealand, with modest Test performances including only two centuries, Virat faces his fifth and potentially most challenging Australian tour. Despite concerns about his form and Test career, his prominence in Australia remains undiminished, with local media featuring him prominently through posters and slogans that reflect his significant status.
