Virat Kohli & Co. toil hard in nets ahead of highly-anticipated 4th Test against Eng

Virat Kohli, who has managed just a couple of half-centuries in the ongoing series will be hoping to make his bat do the talking in the fourth and final Test against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad starting Thursday as Team India look to seal the four-match series 3-1. 

Ahead of the all-important Test match, Virat Kohli & Co. decided to pay some extra attention to their batting with the series and ICC World Test Championship qualification at stake.

'Training'

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had posted a video on their official Twitter handle where the Indian skipper Kohli, his Test deputy Ajinkya Rahane, and, number three batsman in red-ball cricket Cheteshwar Pujara were seen sweating it out in the nets. While they all tried to play attacking shots, equal importance was given to defensive ones as well.

Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Axar Patel was also seen rolling his arms over. Later, the players work on their fielding with a prime focus on slip fielding where both Rohit Sharma as well as Rahane end up taking one-handed catches to their right.
