In one of the pictures taken by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), the duo was seen practising slip catches while standing beside each other. Moreover, in a video uploaded by the Indian captain on his Instagram handle, both Kohli and Rohit were seen batting next to each other during the net session. Notably, the duo was training together after more than a year. Recently, Kohli had also mentioned that Rohit will be given an opportunity to open in all the 4 Tests of the home series against England. The duo training with each other comes as welcome news for cricketing fans all across the world.

There have been numerous reports in the past that suggested things weren't exactly smooth between Kohli and Rohit.

In fact, there were also reports stating that when Kohli and Rohit met during one of the league matches of Dream11 IPL 2020, the two seemed distant as the duo gave a cold shoulder to each other. However, if recent pictures are anything to go by, it seems the duo is perfectly fine with each other, at least for the time being. Indian cricket fans will hope that the equation between two of the leading men in Indian cricket stays intact.
