The Indian cricket team has started practice for the second India vs Bangladesh Test starting in Kanpur from Friday. India have won the first Test easily and if they repeat the same feat in the last match of the series, the Rohit Sharma-led team will be in a strong position in the race for the World Test Championship final. However, Virat Kohli was not in good form in the first Test. He was dismissed by Hasan Mahmud after scoring 6 runs in the first innings while he was dismissed by Mehdi Hasan Miraz after scoring 17 runs in the second innings.

On Wednesday, he was dismissed twice in four overs at the nets by pacer Jamshed Alam. The Lucknow pacer got him out with an outswinger.

“I bowled 24 balls to Virat Kohli. My speed was around 135 kmph and I dismissed him twice. The practice pitch was helping the fast bowlers, although the Kanpur pitch generally helps the spinners. Virat Kohli told me, 'Well bowled brother, How old are you (How old are you)? I told him I am 22. He replied, keep working hard “I will keep working hard. I am extremely happy to have dismissed him,” Alam told NDTV.

Former Pakistan player Basit Ali has predicted that Kohli will return to form in the Border Gavaskar Trophy starting against Australia from November 22.

Ali said on his YouTube channel, “Everyone should be happy in the match between Bangladesh and New Zealand, Virat will start from Australia. He will like the fast wickets of Australia. Big players often lose concentration against weak teams, but they perform well against tough opponents.”

“People say India wins at home, but they have won two series in Australia as well. India will not let Australia win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this year.”
