Virat Kohli Raring To Go Against Australia

Virat Kohli will be looking to hit the ground running when he makes his return to the cricket field after a much-needed break. The India skipper had left the team in New Zealand after guiding it to an unassailable 3-0 lead to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of international cricket. Consequently, he missed the following two ODIs and the subsequent three-match T20I series.

Prior to that, he had a gruelling stay in the southern hemisphere. Kohli was the only Indian player to play in all the games since India landed in Australia before he was granted rest by the team-management. The India skipper will eye an impressive return when India take on Australia in the upcoming T20I and ODI series. India will host Australia for two T20Is and five ODIs.

And it looks like Kohli is raring to go as he took to Twitter to make his intentions clear. The 30-year old posted a couple of pictures from a net session with the caption:

“Back to work ?”

The series will begin with a T20I on February 24. After the two T20Is, the five-match ODI series will begin on March 2 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium (Jamtha) in Nagpur will host the second ODI on the 5th.

The third ODI will take place at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on March 8. The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali will host the penultimate ODI on the 10th. The series will conclude with the final ODI at the iconic Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on 13 March.

The series will be India’s last assignment before the World Cup in England and Wales. Ten days after the series, the players will play in the Indian Premier League before flying out to England. The World Cup starts on May 30 while India will start their campaign on June 5 against South Africa.

An avid cricket lover, I just love this game more than anything. Writing about cricket keeps me closer to the game.
