Rohit lost 8-10 kilograms to get in top shape, Kohli made sure he retained the ‘fittest cricketer’ tag by working on his body when he was away from competitive cricket action.
When the modern day batting greats took to the wicket, they rushed to hit the nets to ensure they pushed themselves in the Australian conditions ahead of the series.
Kohli looked very sharp in his first net session. It didn’t look like he was out of action for too long and he rode his shots to perfection at the nets.
But that was not the case with Rohit Sharma, who was initially scratched on the field. He didn’t look too good at the start, but after spending some time in the middle, he got back into the rhythm and started to look good.
Meanwhile, the batting legends’ education and hard work went in vain as both failed to score in the Odi series opener. Rohit Sharma hit 8 off 8 balls, virat kohli bounced back with a duck bagged.
On the 4th ball of the fourth, Rohne bowled a delivery Josh Hazlewood To Matt Renshaw, Virat Kohli drives Mitchell Starc to Cooper Connolly.
