Virat Kohli is sweating out hard in the training camp of the Indian Cricket Team in Alur, Bengaluru ahead of the Asia Cup 2023. He was part of the intense training on Day 3 of the camp and ticked almost every box right ahead of the tournament.

As per Star Sports, it is learned that Virat Kohli’s main focus in the training camp on Day 3 was on the spinners. The right-hander played with an attacking mindset against them and took the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Hrithik Shokeen, and Rahul Chahar to the cleaners in the nets.

It is learned that Virat Kohli has his eyes set on the Pakistan spinners and it was the main reason why he batted mostly against the spinners on Day 3. The media conglomerate also revealed that the right-hander also faced fast bowlers after that in a match simulation drill, with Ravindra Jadeja as his batting partner.

The Indian team also has brought in tall left-arm pacer Aniket Choudhary as a net bowler to help batters. The lanky fast bowler was seen bowling to Virat Kohli as he seemed to be getting ready for Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi and other left-arm pacers who will be taking part in the tournament.

Virat Kohli of late has been in great nick in the ODIs. The right-hander is amongst the leading run-getters in this format this year. He was last seen in action during the Test series against West Indies. He notched up a half-century and a century in two innings.

IND vs PAK: Rohit Sharma bats with great intensity like Virat Kohli in training camp

Apart from Virat Kohli, Star Sports also revealed that captain Rohit Sharma batted with great intensity in the training camp in Alur. The opening batter was the first player from his team to bat in the morning session. It is learned that he mostly practiced against left-arm pacers and looked in great touch.

Rohit Sharma also was seen interacting with Indian bowlers during the camp. He batted with KL Rahul in a match simulation drill. The keeper-batter also seemed to have regained his fitness as he was seen doing keeping drills as well.
