Harbhajan Singh predicts Virat Kohli to score two centuries on the Australian tour

Former Indian spinner and commentator Harbhajan Singh has heaped praise on the Indian No.3 batter Virat Kohli, who is set to make a comeback to international cricket for the first time since the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in March.

Speaking on JioHotstar, Bhajji asserted that Kohli is someone who shines on big occasions, which makes him a different player from others, adding that the talismanic batter waits for the big opportunities and high-pressure games.

“Some players thrive when things get difficult; that’s when they bring out their best. And Virat Kohli is one of those players. He shines on big occasions, and that’s what sets him apart from others. He waits for those big opportunities, those high-pressure games, and that’s when he shows why he’s a champion," Harbhajan said on JioHotstar’s ‘Amul Cricket Live’.

Furthermore, the Turbanator also reckoned that Kohli loves playing in Australian conditions and predicted the No.3 batter to score at least two centuries in three ODIs against Australia Down Under.

"When you perform against the best, that’s when you earn respect, and he’s earned that, especially after scoring those hundreds in Australia and taking on the responsibility of leading the team. Those are the challenges he looks forward to. Australia is his favourite hunting ground, and now he’s making his comeback after the IPL. I’m really looking forward to seeing him bat in those three ODIs, and hopefully, out of those three, he gets at least two centuries for India,” he added.

For the unversed, Team India is scheduled to take on Australia in the three-match ODI series, starting on October 19 in Perth. Shubman Gill will be leading the ODI side, replacing Rohit Sharma as the skipper.

After the conclusion of the first ODI in Perth, the action moves to the Adelaide Oval on October 23. Later, the third and final ODI will be played in Sydney on October 25.
