Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli is happy with the way his first training session went with the franchise. A gap of five months can take a toll on anyone mentally. Kohli was also scared of how things will go once cricket resumes.

Although Virat is one of the most skilled batsmen currently, there were doubts which got cleared after the outdoor training. The RCB skipper had made sure his body remains in the right shape during the lockdown so it doesn't disturb his mindset.

"Much better than expected, to be honest, I was pretty scared, haven't picked up a bat in the last five months but yeah, it just came out better than I expected. I have trained quite a bit during the lockdown so I am feeling quite fit and that helps as you can react better. That's a big plus if you come heavier into the season so the body is not in the right shape and that starts playing in your mind," Kohli said in a video posted on the official Twitter handle of RCB.

"The spinners looked pretty good in day one, Shahbaz Nadeem, Washington Sundar was landing the ball in the right areas, Chahal bowled well too, the seamers went through the motions little bit today, all in well decent start to our camp," he added.

RCB speedster Dale Steyn was also satisfied with the training session. "Nice to get out after spending months without training, I am excited and hopefully I do not pull up stiff the next day," Steyn said in the video.

It's not easy for the players to prepare before the tournament. Apart from training, they also have to take care of the COVID-19. 13 personnel who went to the UAE have already been affected by Coronavirus.
