The way he has been middling the ball in the nets, it doesn’t seem that the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli was away from the game for the past 6 months.

On Thursday (September 3), Kohli shared a video on Twitter, in which he can be seen nailing a proper cricketing shot.

While executing the stroke, the RCB captain’s body was perfectly still as he created enough space to connect bat on ball.

"Nothing like a proper cricketing shot," Kohli wrote in the caption.

Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB ever since the inception of IPL in 2008. He has represented the Bengaluru-based franchise in 177 games so far, amassing 5412 runs at an average of 37.85, including five tons.

However, RCB are yet to win an IPL title with Virat at the helm of affairs.  Under his captaincy, the franchise has failed to qualify for the play-offs in the last three seasons. While the captain had an extraordinary year with the bat, smashing four centuries in IPL 2016 wherein they reached the final, RCB finished 8th, 6th and 8th in the eight-team table in the subsequent editions.

Kohli will be hoping to lead his team to their maiden IPL title in this year’s tournament, slated to be held in UAE from September 19 to November 10.
