Virat Kohli`s Dominant Return in Perth Test

Virat Kohli's return to form in the first Test against Australia at Perth has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. The Indian batter, who had not scored a Test century in 18 months, roared back to life with an unbeaten 100 in the second innings, leading India to a thumping 295-run victory over the hosts.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan and Australian cricket legends Allan Border and Matthew Hayden have all expressed their disappointment and concern over Australia's inability to contain Kohli. Vaughan noted that Kohli's return to form is an ominous sign for Australia, while Border and Hayden criticized the team's handling of Kohli, suggesting that they allowed him to regain his rhythm and confidence.

Adam Gilchrist also weighed in, suggesting that the double innings collapse in the first four sessions of the Test worked in Kohli's favor. He observed that Kohli looked too authoritative in the first innings but seemed to adjust his approach in the second innings, ultimately leading to a controlled and dominant performance.

Ricky Ponting, another former Australian captain, praised Kohli for trusting his game and making the necessary adjustments to achieve success. Ponting highlighted how Kohli's change in approach helped him score his 30th Test ton, a significant milestone in his career.

The series is now 1-0 in favor of India, with the second Test set to begin at Adelaide on December 6. The performance of Virat Kohli will undoubtedly be a key factor in determining the outcome of the series.
