Star Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has expressed his excitement about reigniting his on-field rivalry with Indian batting icon Virat Kohli, describing their contests as "good battles" that he thoroughly enjoys. The two cricketing greats are set to face off again when India and Australia clash in the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, beginning in Perth on November 22.

Starc, known for his fiery pace and lethal swing, has had several intense encounters with Kohli over the years.

"I enjoy my battles with Virat Kohli, it's because we've played a lot of cricket against one another," Starc told Star Sports.

"I always have some good battles. I've managed to get him out once or twice and he's no doubt scored a fair few runs against me so it's always a good contest and one we both enjoy."

India won the trophy in the last four series, from 2016-17 to 2022-23. India had defeated Australia in their own backyard in the last two series in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
