During the World Cup, Virat Kohli has hardly missed an optional session. Despite steady downpour, he was there along with the under-fire KL Rahul, Karthik and Ravichandran Ashwin for the indoor session.

While he batted briefly, Kohli was seen keenly watching Rahul's batting in the nets and then spent considerable time dissecting his technique with coach Dravid.

From a distance, it seemed like Kohli was explaining the Karnataka man his front-foot press, and perhaps, trying to meet the ball early, which has been his undoing so far in the showpiece.

Kohli was seen telling Rahul that his trigger movement was taking his front foot towards off stump and his body weight being transferred forward. That could make him a candidate for played-on, caught behind, or leg before dismissal.

Kohli advised Rahul to maintain still body position, and rather than moving across, just open the front foot, pointing towards the bowler. That would help him to come to the front foot or go back without premeditated commitment.
