He stood at what he thought was the starting line with his teammates. But, it was Kohli who sprinted off while his teammates never ran.

Meanwhile, Kohli last played for India during their triumphant run at the Champions Trophy earlier in the year. He played a crucial role in that event. With a lot of speculation around Kohli's ODI future, he would be under pressure to perform. In the past, he has done well against Australia in their den and this time, he would like to repeat that. 

He has played 34 innings in 18 matches at Australia where he has amassed 1542 runs at an average of 46.73 with seven hundreds.

Kohli had a batting session on Thursday at the Optus stadium in Perth, where he looked sharp and seemed to be middling the ball well. His feet also seemed to be moving well which augurs well for the side.
