India’s top guns go full throttle at nets
Big guns Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane went full throttle at the nets as the Indian cricket on Monday trained in earnest for the upcoming fourth and final Test against England.
The fourth Test starts here on Thursday.
Captain Kohli, his deputy Rahane and senior opener Rohit were seen batting at the nets in a video posted by the BCCI on Twitter.
The three senior players drove, pulled and flicked against the fast bowlers and spinners at the Narendra Modi Stadium here.
Head coach Ravi Shastri was seen interacting with Rohit and Kohli before the two star batsmen sat together for a discussion.
Left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who bagged 11 wickets in India’s thumping win in the pink ball third Test at the same venue, was seen rolling his arms over at the nets against some of the world’s best batsmen.
They were also seen fielding with Rahane, standing next to Rohit in the second slip position, taking a one-handed diving catch to his right.
