2. Virat Kohli vs Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins has made Virat Kohli look very ordinary in front of him. He has got his wicket quite a few times now. Every cricket fan awaits a contest between Starc and Kohli, but Cummins changes the course of the game. Cummins has dismissed Kohli 9 times in international cricket, and it is usually that one delivery outside of off-stump that bothers Kohli.
Kohli’s strike rate against Cummins in Test is 33.19, and his average is 16.40. The numbers clearly indicate the tussle between the two greats. Since the two are set to face each other again at the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy, it will be a battle of the greats. Kohli is regarded as a modern day legend courtesy the great records he has to his names. He went through a lean patch for almost three years, but he has been in top form since the Asia Cup 2022 and has notched up three ODI and one T20I century.
Pat Cummins, over the years has emerged as an all-rounder for Australia. The perfect bowler (currently World No.1 Test bowler) who can chip in with the bat, and leads the side brilliantly as the skipper. Ever since Cummins took over as Australia's Test skipper, the Baggy Greens have been a formidable force.
