Australia vs India 2018: Bowl the Best Delivery You Can to Virat Kohli - Jason Gillespie

Despite the Australians have admitted setting a plan for the Indian skipper is impossible, they are trying their ways out to make it happen. For the same, the former Aussie pacer, Jason Gillespie discussed the same in his recent interaction with Ryan Harris in a live show. He showered words of praises on Virat Kohli and asked Australian bowlers to be smart enough.

You need to be switched on from ball one – Jason Gillespie

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has always got the best against Australia attack. Further, he has got an incredible record on the Australian soil, which would give him enough boost to come good in the upcoming series, which begins on December 6th in Adelaide.

Gillespie feels it is tough to bowl against Virat Kohli if he gets set in the crease. He asked the bowlers to hit the right areas against the Indian skipper from the first ball itself. Further, Jason Gillespie asked the Australian bowlers to make Virat Kohli earn his runs with some top-class shots rather than working it smoothly. He concluded by stating they need to apply pressure constant on Virat.

Don’t allow him to score runs easily – Jason

”You need to be switched on from ball one. Because if Kohli has faced 20-odd balls and he has got more than 10-15 runs, he usually gets a significant score. And that is why it Is so crucial to impact early. There cannot be any warm-up deliveries against Kohli. Don’t allow him to get going by giving him an easy shot – a half-volley, a tuck off the hip, a cut shot,” Jason Gillespie said to ESPN Cricinfo.

”If he is going to score runs, make him earn them, make him play really good shots, and make him take a risk. That applies to every batsman, but because Kohli is such a big and important player in this Indian side and so much rests on him as captain, it is really important to make sure you are switched on and you are bowling the best delivery you can,” he added.

Well, it would be interesting to see how Australian bowlers deliver against team India skipper in the upcoming Test series. All in all, it is going to be an exciting clash for apparent reasons.
