Team India will kick-off their Asia Cup campaign against arch rivals Pakistan, what promises to be an enthralling encounter. The stage is set and the preparations are also underway. Premier batters such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam will be at the centerstage and will look to leave an impact in the contest, which will be played in Dubai on Sunday.
In a video shared on social media, India skipper Rohit Sharma can be seen smashing the ball around the park. He can be seen taking on the spinners particularly Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin. Here is the video:
Rohit can be seen practicing the big hits in the video and out of the many shots he played, the one where he dances down the track and lofts the ball straight over Ashwin's head stands out as the best.
Virat Kohli too maintained a similar approach during the team's first training session in Dubai. The 33-year-old batter launched the ball into the orbit against the spinners, which hints the mindset Kohli looks to carry forward in the competition. The premier batter stepped out against Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin during the nets, and even let out a chuckle when he failed to connect one properly.
