IND vs BAN: Axar Patel Cleans Up Virat Kohli In Nets

As the cricketing world gears up for the second and final Test between India and Bangladesh, scheduled for Friday, September 27, all eyes are on Virat Kohli. The Indian cricket maestro, known for his consistency and flair, has been under scrutiny, particularly after his subpar performance in the first Test. However, before the real action at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, Kohli’s practice session turned into a spectacle of its own.

IND vs BAN: Axar Patel Cleans Up Virat Kohli In Nets

On Wednesday, September 25, Kohli, along with his teammates, stepped into the nets for what was expected to be a routine practice session. Yet, for Kohli, it was anything but. A video capturing his practice went viral, not for his usual prowess, but for his visible struggle against spin.

Axar Patel, known for his left-arm spin, proved to be Kohli’s nemesis in the nets. Kohli, attempting to play an aggressive shot, completely missed the line, and the ball went straight through to hit the middle stump. This dismissal wasn’t an isolated incident. Kohli’s struggle against spin continued, with Patel deceiving him multiple times, painting a concerning picture for fans and analysts alike.

The narrative didn’t improve when Kohli faced Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin, with his deceptive off-spin, managed to outfox Kohli again, further denting his confidence. But the real test came against Jasprit Bumrah, who with his sharp outswingers, dismissed Kohli not once but three times. Each dismissal brought a wry smile to Bumrah’s face, indicative of the challenge Kohli was up against.

What Does This Mean for the Upcoming Test?

With the Kanpur pitch likely to offer turn, Kohli’s practice session struggles against spin are particularly worrying. His inability to read the spin, especially from Patel, suggests that the upcoming Test might not be easy. If Kohli can’t find his form, it could impact India’s pursuit of a clean sweep against Bangladesh.

Kohli’s performance in the nets has sparked discussions across cricket circles. While practice sessions are meant for players to iron out kinks, the repeated dismissals have raised questions about Kohli’s current form and mental state. Cricket enthusiasts are now eagerly waiting to see if Kohli can turn his nets misfortune into a motivation, reclaiming his throne with the bat in the actual match.

For Virat Kohli, the practice session was more than just a warm-up; it was a stark reminder of the challenges awaiting him. However, Kohli’s career has been built on overcoming such hurdles. As he steps onto the field on Friday, all eyes will be on how he translates his net struggles into a compelling narrative of resurgence or whether they foreshadow a continued struggle. The cricketing world watches, hopeful for a vintage Kohli performance, yet prepared for the unpredictable nature of the game.
