Kohli was one of the first batsmen to enter the nets for batting practice. His focus was entirely on playing short-pitched deliveries. Kohli returned to form with a maiden T20I century while batting against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. Virat's focus in the net session shows that he doesn't want to lose his momentum and rhythm ahead of T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. In the Asia Cup, a confident Virat had stepped out to hit a lethal spinner like Rashid Khan. Virat came into the nets on Sunday with the same mindset as he played similar shots against the spinners. 

Virat Kohli scored a century against Afghanistan as an opener and he has realized that it is necessary to adopt an aggressive approach from the beginning in the shortest format. He scored an unbeaten 82 against Australia in the 2016 World T20 at the same ground and now that his form and confidence have returned, he is expected to make another scintillating innings on Tuesday.
