With Virat Kohli struggling for runs in Test cricket, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has backed the 34-year-old to 'bounce back' as soon as possible and replicate his white-ball form in the longest format as well.

"For Kohli, I have said that over and over, champion players always find a way. He might be in a bit of a drought at the moment and might be not scoring runs which we all expect him to score but he is a realist as well. When you are a batsman and you are struggling and not scoring runs, you are pretty aware of that yourself. I am not concerned about this because I am confident he will bounce back," Ponting said on ICC review.

Having scored a total of 111 runs in the last 5 Test innings in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli will be looking for a reversal in fortunes in the 4th Test against Australia that starts on March 9.
