Melbourne: Former India captain Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen of the generation and that is why he is often the benchmark for others around the world. While Kohli is often compared to other cricketers, former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh recently made a surprising comment during the Boxing Day Test at MCG between Australia and Pakistan. Waugh, who was commentating during the match, compared Abdullah Shafique to Kohli.

“I see a bit of Virat Kohli in him with the shots he plays,” Waugh said during the broadcast.

However, Pakistan has lost the first match and Australia is also dominating the visitors in the second Test. However, half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith led Australia’s charge after early wickets, with their lead rising to 241 runs at the end of day three of the second Test against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.

At the end of day three, Australia were 187/6, while Alex Carey (16*) was unbeaten. Aussies started the session at 107/4, with Marsh (57*) and Smith (26*) unbeaten.

In the final session, Smith and Marsh continued to counter-attack. Australia reached the 150-run mark in 44.1 overs.

The 153-run partnership between Smith and Marsh came to an end when Marsh was caught at slip by Agha Salman, with Mir getting his third wicket. Marsh was dismissed for 96 in 130 balls, with 13 fours. Australia were 169/5.

Smith continued to build a partnership with Alex Carey. Smith reached his half-century in 153 balls, with three fours. However, he fell for 50 in 176 balls to Shaheen on the last ball of the day. The day ended on that note.
