There has been plenty of scrutiny on Kohli and his form coming into the Border Gavaskar Trophy who has just two centuries and 11 half-centuries in his last 60 Test innings.

Australian veteran Nathan Lyon remains wary of out-of-form superstar Virat Kohli and his under-fire Indian teammates ahead of the Border-Gavaskar battle.

The Aussies are prepared to take on the challenge of playing India in a thrilling environment, according to Lyon, who is one of the top wicket-takers in the red-ball format.
