After the ICC T20 International World Cup, team India is trying their best for the WTC 2025 Trophy. India’s dominance in cricket’s longest format continues as they defeated travelling Bangladesh 2-0 in home soil. Rohit Sharma led team India remain top of the WTC points table for a long time. Virat Kohli remains an important part of the team. New Zealand can be a troublemaker for India as they have some world-class cricketers.
Virat Kohli is showing intensity in Bengaluru during the net session. He took some aggressive shots against pace bowler Akash Deep. Virat played his signature straight drive and cover drive to regain his confidence before the upcoming series against New Zealand. Kohli played some shots down the ground and broke a leg of a plastic chair.
Virat Kohli has been preparing intensively for India’s upcoming Test series against New Zealand, which starts on October 16, 2024, at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite recent struggles in Test cricket, Kohli’s hunger to perform remains the same, and he’s expected to be a key figure in the Indian lineup. Gautam Gambhir, India’s head coach, has expressed confidence in Kohli’s form, highlighting his importance as India looks to maintain its dominance at home. Kohli recently showed glimpses of resurgence during the ICC World Test Championship, where he averaged over.
India will play three Tests against New Zealand, with the second match scheduled in Pune and the final in Mumbai.
