Virat Kohli made a comeback in the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai but he could not do anything special with the bat. Only 6 and 17 runs came off his bat. Virat Kohli was not a part of Team India in the 5-match series against England this year. In such a situation, he came to play his first Test match of the year 2024 through the Chennai Test but flopped. After this, once again the discussion on Kohli’s poor form intensified. Now the Indian team has reached Kanpur to play the second Test match against Bangladesh. The entire Team India including Kohli is busy preparing for this match. Indian batsmen are practicing batting fiercely in the nets. However, Kohli’s poor form is not leaving him even in the nets.
Bumrah beat Kohli
Kohli was seen struggling during India’s net practice session at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. According to the Indian Express report, while practicing batting, Kohli looked uncomfortable against both spin and fast bowling. The star batsman played about 15 balls of Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, in which he was beaten four times. Kohli looked comfortable in the beginning and played some good shots, including a cover drive. Then Bumrah hit the ball on Kohli’s pad, after which he shouted that it hit in the front. Kohli also accepted this statement of Bumrah.
The spinners also did a lot of trickery
After some time, Kohli was seen getting beaten continuously. Bumrah reduced the length of his ball, on which Kohli’s bat edged. After this, Bumrah came in a straight line and trapped Kohli twice more. Both times the ball took the inside edge of his bat and went behind. On this, Bumrah smiled and said that the last one was a short leg catch. After Bumrah, Kohli was also troubled a lot by spin bowlers. While facing Jadeja, Kohli tried to play inside-out, but he missed the shot three times in a row. Kohli looked a little disappointed by this. After this, Akshar Patel dismissed Kohli.
