India batter Virat Kohli was seen doing the hard practice in the nets ahead of the upcoming intense clash against Pakistan on October 23rd in Melbourne. The Super 12s stage of the T20 World Cup 2022 will begin on October 22 with Australia taking on New Zealand, while Sunday will see the blockbuster India-Pakistan clash.
The stadium facility in Australia gives fans and media a chance to get a closer look at the star cricketers, however, this became a hindrance to Virat Kohli as he was batting in the nets when a fan yelled ‘out of stadium’ as he was facing a delivery while batting.
This didn’t sit down well with Kohli, who then confronted the fans behind the nets and asked them not to shout as it was distracting him and said: “Yaar practice ke time main bolo mat, distraction hoti hai."

Kohli resumed his practice, but the fan could be heard saying, “Jab relax honge tab bolenge. King kiliye toh bolenge hi. King hai woh.”

While Kohli didn’t bat in the two practice games against Western Australia, he played against Australia in the official T20 World Cup 2022 warm-up game and scored 19 runs. He has been in impressive form with the bat since he scored that sensational 122* against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup last month.
He fared amazingly well against Australia in the home T20I series and it remains to be seen how well he does against Pakistan in MCG on October 23.
