As the Indian speed combination of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, together with seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, had a somewhat quiet day on Tuesday, Virat Kohli was spotted rolling his arm in the nets in Adelaide. Having bowled in eleven Test innings without taking a wicket, Kohli has previous experience bowling in international cricket. He has, however, claimed four T20I and five ODI wickets. Kohli, who just scored a century in Perth, was edged out twice in the pink-ball Test. Both dismissals ended in catches, one by the wicketkeeper and one by the second slip.
Kohli’s net session :
Kohli’s net session started out slowly but steadily increased in intensity, demonstrating a methodical approach to his training. Indian batsmen, led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, started red-ball practice in Adelaide on Tuesday following a heartbreaking 10-wicket defeat in the pink-ball Test. In order to perform better before the third Test in Brisbane, it was their goal. The third Test, which begins on Saturday, has already seen the Australian team fly to Brisbane. However, the Indian team decided to remain in Adelaide in order to concentrate on improving their red-ball strategies, especially shot selection and defensive play. After his baby was born, Rohit Sharma rejoined the squad and is trying to get back to his previous level of play. In his last twelve innings, he has only managed to score 142 runs.
Sharma used a comprehensive strategy to reestablish his batting rhythm by practicing against both spin and pace bowlers. His pink-ball Test scores of three and six led to his dismissal. A nip-backer trapped Sharma leg-before-wicket in the first innings of that match, and Pat Cummins bowled him in the second. KL In order to strengthen his technique against the Australian bowling onslaught, Rahul concentrated on defensive drills throughout the practice session. In order to strengthen his aggressive batting approach, which is an essential component of his game, Rishabh Pant practiced his trademark pick-up strokes.
Yashasvi Jaiswal demonstrated his aggressive batting style in the nets with a commanding 161 during India’s 295-run triumph in the first Test. He demonstrated confidence and intent by playing a variety of shots, including stepping out against bowlers. The batsmen faced a range of bowling styles throughout the practice session, including those of Harshit Rana, Akash Deep, Yash Dayal, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Washington Sundar. There were also a few of throwdown experts. The next stage of preparation is set on Wednesday, when India departs for Brisbane. The team wants to get back together and prepare for the next Test, fixing the errors from Adelaide and adjusting to the new conditions in Brisbane, which is famed for its bounce and pace.
