Virat Kohli starts well in practice match against Leicestershire on tour of India in England, fails to complete half century CB News

Leicester: Prep match. But what is the proper preparation of Indian batsmen! India lost 5 wickets in the first session. Roman Walker took three wickets. The first session of the Leicestershire vs India warm-up match was uncomfortable for Rohit. Rohit won the toss and elected to bat. Rishabh Pant, Jaspreet Bumra, Cheteshwar Pujara, Krishna are playing for the opposition. Shubhaman Gill and Rohit Sharma made the debut. It did not last long. They were embarrassed to be called the new Duke. Shubham launched every attack. 21 off 26 balls and came back. Rohit scored 25 off 46 balls. Hanuma Bihari, desperate to stay at the crease, tried to drop to third. 3 off 23 balls! Virat Kohli started well but could not play a half century innings.

After losing 5 wickets for just 61 runs, Virat Kohli did not have any risk until lunch break. The center of attraction on this tour is large. Leaving the lead in all formats and focusing on batting. The drought did not stop running. Century has not been done for more than three years. The rest was given after the IPL. Indian cricket fans expect huge runs to come with a big bat with concentration. Virat played 32 balls in the first session. Only 9 runs. However, he displayed a lot of confidence. Virat stood out in Boomera bowling. Boomerangs do not have the opportunity to play domestic cricket in the drawn sport schedule. So it took time to adjust. In Boomer bowling, Virat hit a superb boundary. Kohli hit sixes in the square leg in Krishna’s famous delivery in 36.2 overs. The audience shouted. At that point the game stops in the rain.

When the game starts again, the concentration problem for the break is greater. Going out to play front cross bat leg. While trying to hit the on-drive, the bat did not connect. The umpire took a long time. Virat stood in amazement for a while. If the ball goes out of the leg side! Virat ended the innings with 33 off 69 balls. Walker took the fourth wicket. Even a good start can disrupt the mind at that point. Virat also failed in batting.

On the first day of the match, wicketkeeper Shreekar Bharat came into focus. By the end of the game, the Indian team was 246-6. India scored a half century. He was unbeaten on 60 off 111 balls.
