New Delhi: India is playing a four-day warm-up match against Leicestershire. On day 3 of the warm-up game, fans got the rare opportunity to witness clash of the Titans as senior speedster Jasprit Bumrah bowled against Virat Kohli with the red ball. It was an absolute delight to watch this battle as both players, who are regular in men's national team and don't play Ranji Trophy, are playing in opposing teams.
Virat Kohli hammered pacer Bumrah for a well-timed six. The shot by ex-India skipper was a delightful upper-cut which went over the off-side boundary for a maximum. Watch the viral video.
Ahead of the big clash against England in Edgbaston, Kohli looked in great touch as he played a knock of 33 in the first innings, and scored hard-fought 67 in the second.
Bumrah got his revenge over Kohli by taking his wicket later in the innings.
While a Hardik Pandya-led second-string team India is preparing for clash against Ireland, a star-studded Rohit Sharma-led senior team will play a rescheduled one-off Test match against England from July 1. Notably, Hardik Pandya will captain the national squad for the first time in two T20Is on 26th and 28th June in Dublin.
