Virat Kohli: It’s no secret that Virat Kohli loves cricket more than anything else. The 33-year-old’s remarkable batting has led to 71 centuries and more than 24,000 runs in international cricket, but such abilities were only possible thanks to countless hours spent in the practise nets. The former India captain is working really hard for the forthcoming T20 World Cup in Australia because of his outstanding achievements and importance as a batter for Team India.
Kohli didn’t bat in any of the two exhibition games that Team India played against Western Australia. Numerous cricket fans questioned Kohli’s absence. However, the talented Indian batsman was afterwards spotted panting in the nets. Before Team India went for Brisbane for the T20 World Cup official warm-up matches, Kohli put in a lot of work in the nets at the WACA Stadium in Perth.
Kohli was so focused during the net session that he went beyond the permitted amount of time for his practise. A member of the coaching staff can be heard telling Kohli that his time at the nets is up in a video that was posted on social media. But in response, the 33-year-old said he would keep going until the following batter, Deepak Hooda, showed up for practise and took guard.
One of the support staff members replied, “Virat, your time is over.” When Hooda arrives, I’ll leave, Kohli is heard telling the support staff worker, “Hooda ayega, toh mein chala jaunga.”
Ahead of Team India’s upcoming two exhibition matches, one against Australia and the other against New Zealand, Kohli was working hard to prepare. On Monday, October 17, against Australia, The Gabba in Brisbane will host the first warm-up game. On Wednesday, October 19, against New Zealand, the same venue will host the second warm-up game.
At the venerable Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23, Sunday, Rohit Sharma and company will face Pakistan in their opening World Cup game.
