Australia's Mitchell Starc eagerly anticipates his duel with India's Virat Kohli in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With Kohli holding a dominant record, the contest is set to be a highlight of the series. Both teams look forward to the thrilling head-to-head between Kohli and Steve Smith.

Australia's mainstay Mitchell Starc is eagerly anticipating his battle with India's stalwart Virat Kohli in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The two cricketing giants have faced each other in 19 innings, with Kohli showcasing dominance against the left-arm pacer in Test matches.

The seasoned Indian batter has amassed 291 runs at an impressive average of 59.00 against Starc's fiery pace. Conversely, Starc has managed to dismiss Kohli only four times.

Ahead of the much-anticipated series, Starc acknowledged his enjoyment of their duels, despite Kohli's superior record. 'I enjoy my battles with Virat Kohli because we've played a lot of cricket against each other. It's always a good contest that we both enjoy,' Starc told Star Sports.

Kohli's clash with Starc on Australian soil isn't the only exciting narrative to watch. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell noted that the head-to-head between Kohli and Australia's Steve Smith will be equally enthralling.

'The way superstar batters Steve Smith and Virat Kohli assert their dominance will greatly influence who takes home the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Watching two of the finest players of our generation go head-to-head will be incredible,' Maxwell told Star Sports.

The Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia kicks off on November 22, with the first Test scheduled in Perth. (ANI)
