Virat Kohli likes to play against Australia because their sledging fires him up. Former Australia captain Tim Paine recently said that he didn’t like when the people urged him not to sledge the Indian batter. The duo was involved in a verbal argument during India’s famous Test series win Down Under in 2018/19.

“If you don’t say anything to him, he will still get runs. It doesn’t matter if you are talking to him or not. I wouldn’t try too much in front of him, but I always wanted to distract him because he might end up playing a bad shot,” former Australian skipper told Cric Tracker.

“But I was annoyed by the regular reminders of not going hard against Virat Kohli because he gets better if someone is talking to him.,” Paine added.”I was watching him giving send-offs to my players.”
