Both Virat Kohli and Babar Azam will be crucial for their respective teams in the 20-20 World Cup
Speaking of the video, Virat Kohli was seen on the net. He also played a great pull shot while the Pakistan skipper was seen doing a net session beside him. But, fans noticed how Babar Azam was looking at the former Indian skipper’s batting. It was a great view for their fans to see both of them batting together at the same time in the nets.
Both Babar and Virat will be crucial for their respective teams in the upcoming 20-20 World Cup. After having a long period of off-form with the bat, Virat Kohli has been doing well finally since the Asia Cup 2022. On the other hand, Babar Azam had a disappointing Asia Cup campaign. But, he managed to score some runs in the recent T20I series against England and the tri-series in New Zealand.
However, in the warm-up match against Australia, Virat Kohli scored only 19 runs off 13 balls, including one four and one six. But, he produced two beauties while fielding with a catch and run-out. But, Babar Azam did not bat against England in the warm-up. The Pakistan skipper wanted to test his other batters ahead of the mega event.
