Virat Kohli's current form has been a major point of concern as the batter has failed to meet expectations while in Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The India batter's weakness is being exploited by the Aussie bowling attack and he is yet to make a big impact in the series.

Virat Kohli was seen sweating it out in the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground ahead of the crucial Boxing Day Test encounter against Australia starting Thursday.

Virat Kohli has enjoyed playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Test cricket. He is eyeing a special record of Sachin Tendulkar when he will step on the field at the MCG for the Boxing Day Test against Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series.

Matthew Hayden has called for Virat Kohli to resist the urge to hit the ball outside the off stump and called upon the example of one of the finest innings played by Sachin Tendulkar during the 2003-04 Border Gavaskar Trophy.

Hayden recollected Tendulkar's marvelous innings at Sydney in 2004, where he curbed his tendency to flash outside the off stump, and lauded the legendary batter for his determination. The Aussie opined Kohli has the personality to mimic such a performance.
