Veteran India batter Virat Kohli seems to be in great spirits ahead of the 2022 edition of Asia Cup, slated to get underway on August 27.

India’s Asia Cup opener against arch-rivals Pakistan will mark Kohli’s return to cricket after a short break. He was rested for India's last two white-ball tours to West Indies and Zimbabwe, following an extended lean patch with the bat.

Following the break, Kohli seems to be in a good frame of mind and he is expected to regain his old touch during the Asia Cup.

Ahead of India’s opening game, Virat attempted a rather unorthodox shot against wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal during a practise session.

In a video doing rounds on social media, Kohli can be seen executing a switch hit on a full-toss delivery from Chahal. After the shot, both Kohli and Chahal had a fist bump and shared a laugh with each other.

Here’s the video:

India’s Asia Cup 2022 opener against Pakistan will be Virat Kohli’s 100th T20I match as well. The right-hander has so far amassed 3308 runs in 99 T20Is at an average of 50.12 and a strike rate of 137.66 with 30 half-centuries.
