For the first of the three T20Is against Australia, which will be contested at Mohali’s Punjab Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday, September 20, Virat Kohli put in a lot of practise time in the nets on Sunday, September 18.
News18.com claims that Kohli was among the first to begin working out. He enjoyed a 45-minute practise session where the pull shot against quick bowlers and stepping out against spinners were the main objectives.
The 33-year-final old’s innings for India, which included 122* (61) against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, was a masterclass in both the pull shot and the step-out shot. India was greatly relieved by his first T20I century, which was also his first.
In recent IPL seasons, the pull shot had been his weak point, and his inability to keep up a good strike rate against spinners in the middle overs was becoming more and more of a problem. India will want people to think that Kohli improved with the tonne.
