Virat Kohli is likely to play a key role in India's CWC 2023 opener against Australia.
The Indian cricket team is currently gearing up for their first match in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia, which is set to be played on Sunday, October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Ahead of the blockbuster clash between two cricketing giants, Team India is giving final touches to their preparations at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli delighted fans with his great sense of humor during India's pre-World Cup 2023 training session before facing Australia.
In a lighthearted moment, Kohli donned his batting gear and ran in a comical manner during the net session in Chennai, reminiscent of his playful run during the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match against Bangladesh, where he took part as the 'water boy' in Colombo.
In the viral video, Kohli can be seen sharing some playful moments with his Indian teammate Jasprit Bumrah, adding a touch of fun to the practice session. His latest antics proved that Kohli is not only a cricketing icon but also a cherished entertainer both on and off the field.
Here are few reactions:
Notably, Suryakumar Yadav on Friday had two net practice sessions, while the entire team, except for captain Rohit Sharma, had a rigorous two-and-a-half-hour practice at Chepauk in preparation for their 2023 World Cup opener against Australia on Sunday.
During the session, Rohit had a chat with Shreyas Iyer for about 10 minutes, discussing strategies for facing short deliveries and how to execute the pull and hook shots effectively.
