Australian media bids farewell to Virat Kohli and crowns India's 'run-machine' as the new King: An Exciting Batter

Jaiswal and Kohli are different in many ways, especially in their beginnings. Kohli was known for his brash and arrogant attitude as a youngster, never holding back when it came to confrontation with the opposition. Despite his controversial behavior, Kohli's exceptional talent shone through, leading him to become one of the best in the sport. On the other hand, Jaiswal displayed shades of a young Kohli during a heated exchange with Ravi Teja in a Duleep Trophy match, resulting in him being reprimanded by his captain Ajinkya Rahane. However, since his debut for India, Jaiswal has transformed his attitude, focusing solely on scoring runs for his country. While their beginnings may have been different, both Kohli and Jaiswal have proven themselves as valuable assets to the Indian cricket team, each bringing their own unique talents and contributions to the game.

Jaiswal, like the other Indian batters, couldn't set the New Zealand Tests ablaze, but with a stiffer Australia challenge next in line, publications such as Fox Sports and the Herald Sun have backed the youngster to succeed Kohli at the throne.

"Around the same time Jaiswal was making ends meet selling street food, a pugnacious young man from Delhi was announcing himself as the most enthralling batter of a generation. Kohli left his first impression of note on Australian audiences in 2012 at the SCG when he stuck up his finger to the crowd, but his most lasting one came two Tests later when he scored India's lone ton of the series," the report said.

"The boy had arrived and would go on to define the Australia-India rivalry for the next decade. This summer, the man looks set to be farewelled on these shores. In his place, Jaiswal looks ready to fill in, having spent the past 18 months establishing himself as the most exciting Indian batter of his generation."

Jaiswal has enjoyed a brilliant start to his Test career, having already amassed 1407 runs from 14 Tests at an average of 56.28, including three centuries and eight fifties. After becoming the 17th Indian batter to hit a hundred on Test debut, he's gone from strength to strength, notching up daddy hundreds as scores of 214, 209 and 171 portray.

The last opener to debut in Tests for India in Australia – Shubman Gill – played his hand at Melbourne and Gabba to help his team win 2-1, and although he has found a new role at No. 3, India would be pinning their hopes on Jaiswal to continue his red-hot streak against the mighty Australian bowling attack. Remember, as tough the equation may be, a place in the World Test Championship is still on the line.
