Kohli looks in fine touch in nets ahead of high-voltage clash against Pakistan.
Star batter Virat Kohli intensified preparations for India’s upcoming T20 World Cup blockbuster against arch-rivals Pakistan. In a video shared by ICC, Kohli seemed primed during net sessions as he finely timed the ball.
The 33-year-old was at his menacing best, unleashing scintillating drives and pulls. Known for innovations, he also advanced down the track confidently. Kohli’s batting prowess was on full display despite a slow start to the tournament.
Boasting a brilliant track record against Pakistan including four fifties in World Cups, Kohli will spearhead India’s batting charge on Sunday. In 10 T20I meetings, he has aggregated 488 runs at a stellar average of 81.33.
However, captain Rohit Sharma urged against reliance on one individual. While acknowledging Kohli’s experience, he wants collective contributions to best the neighbors.
Alongside Rohit, Kohli is anticipated to set the tone upfront. But the veteran’s unbeaten 82 during India’s last successful chase at the MCG undoubtedly strikes fear.
As the high-octane battle beckons, Kohli’s fluid net session augurs well for offsetting his minor blip in the Ireland fixture. Fans await his protagonist role in cranking up the much-anticipated cricket thriller.
