Watch: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma unleash big hits during practice session
The 2022 Asia Cup is just two days away and India, the defending champions, will square off against eternal rivals Pakistan in a riveting contest on the 28th of August. The Men in Blues, in a bid to clinch their third successive title this year, have started their practice sessions ahead of their epic opening fixture, with Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma showing intent in the nets.
The former Indian skipper’s rut with the bat continued in the white-ball series against England last month and was rested for the following series against West Indies and Zimbabwe. The 33-year-old heads into the tournament after registering just two half-centuries in 16 innings of the IPL 2022, following it up with a meager return in the six matches across all formats during India’s tour of England in July with 20 being his highest score.
Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma spent rigorous time in the nets on Wednesday, but the batting ace played with positive intent in contrast to his timid performances off late. He stepped out against the veteran spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, showcasing a transformation in his mindset. He even broke out in a chuckle after failing to connect one of the deliveries properly.
