In a remarkable display of power and precision, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has captured attention with his recent practice session ahead of the 1st Test against Bangladesh. Kohli, who is making his return to Test cricket after an eight-month hiatus, left fans and experts astounded with his brute force during a net session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Kohli’s Stunning Performance in Practice
The 35-year-old batting maestro, who last played Test cricket in January 2024 during the series against South Africa, has been diligently preparing for his comeback. Kohli’s absence from the subsequent home Test series against England was due to the birth of his son, Akaay. However, his return is highly anticipated as India is set to play a rigorous schedule of 10 Test matches between now and January 2025.
During a recent practice session, Kohli showcased his exceptional timing and power. One of his shots was so forceful that it actually carved a hole in a wall at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This impressive feat was captured in a viral video, further highlighting Kohli’s formidable strength and readiness for the upcoming matches.
