Virat Kohli Prepares for Bangladesh Series
Virat Kohli is gearing up for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, and he’s leaving no stone unturned! In a recent practice session at Chepauk, Kohli faced off against two of India’s top bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin ¹. This intense net session is a testament to Kohli’s dedication to his craft and his desire to lead India to victory.
A Tough Challenge
Facing Bumrah and Ashwin is no easy feat, even for a seasoned pro like Kohli. Bumrah, known for his pace and accuracy, dismissed Kohli twice in the practice session, giving him a taste of what to expect from the Bangladesh bowlers ¹. Ashwin, on the other hand, brings his expertise in spin bowling, which will be crucial in the upcoming series.
Team India’s Strategy
The practice session was a part of Team India’s preparation for the Bangladesh series, which begins on September 19 ¹. The team is focusing on intense practice sessions to ensure a strong start, with a emphasis on handling spin bowling, given Bangladesh’s spin-heavy attack. The Chennai pitch, known for favoring spinners, may see India field three spinners and two pacers, with Ashwin, Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav forming the spin trio ¹.
Kohli’s Preparation
Kohli, known for his intense preparation and dedication, was among the early batters to hit the nets ¹. He faced a decent amount of bounce on the practice pitch, simulating match conditions. This preparation will be crucial as India looks to make a strong start to the series.
The Road Ahead
With two more practice sessions lined up before the opening match, Team India is leaving no stone unturned in their preparation ¹. Kohli’s face-off against Bumrah and Ashwin is just the beginning, and we can expect more intense practice sessions in the days to come. Will Kohli’s preparation pay off? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – he’s giving it his all! ¹
