On Sunday, India will lock horns against Pakistan for the much-awaited Champions Trophy clash at the Dubai International Stadium. Both teams are sweating hard in the nets, and preparations are in full swing for the mouth-watering encounter.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has hogged the internet as the right-hand batter arrived for a training session three hours earlier than the scheduled time to put in extra strides for Pakistan clash. It is worth noting that Virat is struggling for runs and is going through a slump with the bat.
Virat, who enjoys a great run with the bat in ICC events and against Pakistan, is looking to return to form and score big against the Men in Green to help India put a foot in the semi-finals.
Virat Kohli Arrives Early For Practice
Several images went viral on the internet where Virat arrived at the training session earlier than scheduled and quickly padded up to train in the nets. Further, according to a tweet from journalist Abhishek Tripathi, Virat arrived at the training centre with around 10-12 UAE net bowlers to help understand the condition and work on his weakness.
Further, Varun Chakaravarthy was also spotted arriving early on for the training, which could also be to help Virat end the spin struggles that he has developed in the recent past.
