The Indian team has started preparations ahead of their first Asia Cup 2022 fixture against Pakistan scheduled to take place on Sunday in Dubai and the players were sweating it out in the nets. In the videos that have gone viral on social media, former India skipper Virat Kohli can be seen taking on the spinners during the net session.
Kohli’s form has been a bit of concern for the side as the right-handed batter hasn’t really been among runs for quite sometime. In fact, he didn’t cross the 20-run mark even once in the limited-overs matches during the England tour where he played two ODIs and as many T20Is.
