India vs India A Simulation Match Live Updates: Virat Kohli was troubled by India A pacers
India vs India A Simulation Match Live Updates: Team India batters are having a go at India A bowlers for the second time in the day. After getting bowled out, gully cricket scenes unsued as Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal walked out to bat again after a short break. For a good 90-odd minutes they had fun, before retiring out and allowing Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant to do the same.…Read More
The BCCI released an update on Rahul, saying that the team is still assessing the extent of the blow with the medical team monitoring the batter. As for reports that Virat Kohli underwent ‘scans’ for an unspecified injury, the update said there’s nothing wrong with him at the moment.
The first two sessions of India’s intra-squad simulation match wasn’t good news for batters. Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were dismissed cheaply, and to make matters worse, KL Rahul got injured and hasn’t returned to bat yet. On the contrary, the forms of Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini and Nitish Reddy promises to come as music to bowling coach Morne Morkel’s ears as the bowlers outclassed the batters in the early period of play at the WACA.
The Indian cricket team is facing India A in preparation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It will be a three-day warm-up match, from Friday to Sunday, and won’t be available for public viewing. The visitors have already begun their preparations for the upcoming series. Veteran batter Virat Kohli was one of the first to reach Perth but skipped training on Tuesday.
Even Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin were missing. However, the likes of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal hit the nets with wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Kohli has been in poor form lately, and it was magnified in India’s 0-3 whitewash by New Zealand. He has bagged only one half-century and averaged only 21.33 across five Test matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand since the start of the year. But he has a good record against Australia, which includes a fighting century in Adelaide on his first-ever Test tour in 2011/12, a staggering 692 runs from four Tests during the 2014 tour, and an exceptional 123 in Perth during the 2018/19 series when he captained the side.
