Watch: Virat Kohli Arrives to Training 3 Hours Before Indian Team to Work on His Weakness

Former India captain Virat Kohli continues to struggle with poor run of form. The recent Test series vs Australia was a forgettable one and he didn’t start the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign very well as he scored 22 runs off 38 balls before he fell to wrist spinner.

Several question marks were raised over the place of the dashing Indian batter Virat Kohli’s place in the Indian team after his poor form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series vs Australia where was dismissed fairly similarly in every match.

While many expected things to get better, Kohli didn’t start the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 very well as despite looking good, he fell to wrist spinner Rishad Hossain for 22 runs while trying to play a cut short but instead handed an easy catch to Soumya Sarkar on deep backward point.

Virat Kohli is known to put in the extra yards to improve on his game. His dedication towards the game is unmatchable. Something similar was seen recently.

A recent social media post claims that Kohli arrived 3 hours before everyone else to improve on his game. It is believed some UAE spin bowlers were called-up to help the former India captain improve his game.
