New Delhi: Indian cricket team's star batter Virat Kohli is leaving no stone unturned while preparing for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Perth these days. The Men in Blue are currently playing warm up games to adapt to Australian pitch conditions ahead of T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli have not played two warm-up matches against Western Australia XI, but the in-form batter is making sure to be at his best by sweating it out in the nets. A video of Virat Kohli's practice session on 13th October is going viral on social media.
The viral video shows Virat asking the Indian coach to let him practice for a little more time, before Deepak Hooda arrived. Virat, who wanted to continue batting can be heard telling coach: "Hooda ayega, toh mein chala jaunga, (I will leave when Hooda comes)."
