As reported by Sportskeeda, after the game, Sunil Gavaskar predicted that the star batsman could turn his fifty into two hundred. As the Indian cricket legend said, India would take the lead and have a chance to win the game if Kohli scores a double ton.
“The best thing is the way Virat Kohli arrived and scored half a century after seeing the behavior of the field. I feel like this half century could turn into two hundred and if that happens it means India would have taken the lead from Australia and have a chance to win the match.” Sunil Gavaskar said.

“It has not marked a century in recent years”: Sunil Gavaskar
Gavaskar claimed that Kohli has been desperate for runs because he has been going through a dry spell and scoring 250 would be the best way to make up for it.
“When someone is hungry and doesn’t have much to eat and is getting something to eat, why should they give it up? He hasn’t scored a century in recent years, so the best way to make up for it is by scoring 250.” Gavaskar said.
Kohli and Shubman Gill (128) put on a 58-run third wicket stand before the latter was caught by Nathan Lyon in front of the wickets. So far, the former Indian captain and Ravindra Jadeja (16*) have combined 44 runs for the fourth wicket.
