Indian team’s experienced batsman Virat Kohli is practicing vigorously in the nets before the second Test match against South Africa starting from January 3. The Indian team could not win the first test match. The performance of the Indian team in the first Test match was quite disappointing and they had to face defeat against South Africa by an innings and 32 runs.
However, now the Indian team would definitely like to win the second test match. PTI journalist has shared a video on social media in which it can be seen that Virat Kohli is playing very good shots in the nets against Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin. Virat Kohli played a very good shot towards mid-wicket on a ball from Mohammad Siraj. Not only this, the experienced batsman also hit a long six against Ravichandran Ashwin.
Let us tell you, Virat Kohli had scored 76 runs in the second innings of the first test match.

In the first Test match played in Centurion, the best wicketkeeper batsman of the Indian team, KL Rahul also batted very well and scored an important century for his team in the first innings. The most disappointing thing for the Indian team is that apart from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, no other batsman is in form at the moment. Not only this, the team’s bowlers have also failed to bowl well.
After the end of the first Test, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma had said that apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowler was able to bowl well. At present, both the teams will have their eyes on the second test match which is starting from January 3. Now it remains to be seen whether the Indian team can win the second test or whether South Africa wins this series.
