The focus on Virat Kohli is getting closer and closer as the opening Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Perth approaches its start date -- November 22. And while many have doubted the batting icon's return to form from a lean phase in red-ball cricket since 2020, Australia's ace spinner Nathan Lyon believes that a champion player like Kohli is always a threat.
The 36-year-old Lyon, who has played 129 Tests and is Australia's leading off-spinner with 530 Test wickets, will once again play a key role in Australia's bowling attack dominated by fast bowlers that will try to put the out-of-form Kohli under pressure right from the start of the series.
