Legendary Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy has outlined a tactical blueprint for Australia's pace assault on Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

Healy, known for his strategic acumen, has advised the Australian bowling attack, headlined by Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc, to concentrate on Kohli's front foot initially. The tactic aims at exploiting potential insecurities during Kohli's lean patch, indicated by his recent performance struggles.

If this initial approach falters, Healy urges a shift to aggressive body-targeting strategies, designed to unnerve Kohli and exploit any potential weaknesses in his play.
