ICC World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli Bowls During Team India’s Net Session Ahead of WC Opener Against South Africa | WATCH VIDEO AND SEE POSTS
ICC World Cup 2019: India skipper Virat Kohli was spotted rolling his arms over during Team India’s net session in England. The Indian cricket team is a well-balanced side and are among the frontrunners to clinch the crown. A lot is expected from Kohli, who is currently the No 1 batsman in the world. Kohli was casually running up to the stumps and rolling his arms over, something fans are used to seeing former India skipper MS Dhoni do. India would be playing their tournament opener against South Africa on June 5.
Here is the video of Kohli having a little warm-up before the training session gets underway.

Here is how fans reacted to Kohli bowling. Some hilariously felt he was going to be India’s sixth bowling option, whereas some expected Kohli to chip in with overs during the World Cup.
