This isn’t the first time that Virat was seen bowling during the training sessions of Team India. He is often seen bowling spin or medium-pace during Team India’s training sessions.
Meanwhile, team management and skipper Virat Kohli, are yet to reveal their playing XI for the WTC Final. Currently, Virat Kohli and his squad have plenty of options to choose from in their pace department, including the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur competing to feature in the final XI. Not just this, India’s spin department also looks very solid with the presence of R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Hanuma Vihari.
