During Day 4 of the Gabba Test in Brisbane, Virat Kohli was seen practicing his technique in the nets after getting cheaply dismissed in the first innings.
As he got dismissed for a cheap score at the Gabba Test, Virat Kohli along with Shubman Gill came and batted in the nets on Day 4 of the ongoing match to further tune their technique. As KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja had shared an important partnership, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh went to the nets.
Harbhajan had gone to the nets to share information about the training that Virat and Gill were going through, he revealed that Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, and sidearm specialists were seen bowling to both the batters in the nets.
Kohli got out with plating a cover drive on a delivery way outside the off-stump. Even though there have been lot of calls from former cricketers for Kohli to restrain himself from playing a cover drive, the veteran batter does not want to give up on it like legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar did two decades ago in Sydney.
“They have been hitting a lot of balls here. Why are they here? They haven’t been scoring a lot of runs in this series. India need Virat and Gill to fire. It’s so good to see them at the practice session even when Team India is batting out there. They are here in the nets, hitting a lot of balls. You can feel good by hitting a lot of balls. When you are not in form, you can feel better by hitting a lot of balls,” Harbhajan told the broadcasters.
“I hope these practice sessions will bring what India needs in the middle,” he added.
