During India’s practice session on Wednesday, Virat Kohli made the net bowler’s day, even though he was removed twice.
Please go on if you’re a fan of Virat Kohli. Not that your king is having the best of things. Kohli’s troubles have reached the Indian nets as he was removed for 6 and 17 in the opening session. He didn’t exactly shine before the first Test match in Chennai, and on the eve of the second game, it doesn’t appear like he has improved.

Afraid of Jasprit Bumrah before of the first match of the series, Kohli was uncomfortable facing left-arm spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel and again looked at sixes and sevens against the Indian pacer during their practise session on Wednesday.
Not just India’s bowlers suffered from Kohli’s problems in the nets. Jamshed Alam, a net bowler, also got rid of him. Lucknow’s fast bowler Alam, who bowls in the mid-130s, foxed Kohli and got him out twice. While the child was in the midst of savoring this once-in-a-lifetime experience, which he will live to tell his grandchildren, Kohli’s compliments about the ball made the occasion even more enjoyable.
“I bowled Virat Kohli 24 balls. I got him out twice at a speed of about 135 kmph. While the Kanpur pitch usually favours spinners, the practice pitch was in the favour of pacers. Well bowled, bhai, kitne saal ke ho (How old are you)?’ asked Virat Kohli. I revealed my age to him: 22. Mehnat karte raho, he answered (keep working hard). Alam told NDTV, “I am delighted that I fired him.
What’s up with Virat Kohli?
In the lead-up to the match in Chennai, Kohli appeared a little uncomfortable taking on the six-foot-tall Gurnoor Brar. To calm some fears, he did, however, quickly enter his zone and deliver a couple of devastating pull shots. It seemed as though Kohli was a little uncomfortable in the nets, which was evident in his middle-of-the-table batting when it happened to Gurnoor and now Alam. Kohli was dismissed LBW to Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the first Test match, exposing two of his major vulnerabilities. First, he edged Hasan Mahmud to Mushfiqur Rahim behind the stumps. In Test cricket, it was Kohli’s 39th wicket against an off-spinner, and it was a contentious one because he declined to accept the DRS even though he had edged the ball.
India’s prospects are mostly dependent on Kohli, and with three Test matches remaining before the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, he would prefer to return to form similar to what he did in South Africa or the ODI World Cup. As the tournament’s top run scorer in India, Kohli exuded confidence throughout his 76-run innings against South Africa in Centurion. After that, Kohli’s form has been all over the place. During the T20 World Cup, he entirely lost his form after amassing 741 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League.
