SA vs Ind: Kohli and Rohit were batting side by side in the nets and seemed to find the middle of the bat on most occasions.
Centurion: We are exactly one day away from the start of the highly anticipated Boxing Day Test. And the two highlights from the Indian perspective are the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The two seniors are out after the ODI World Cup. With Rohit and Kohli joining the squad, all the spotlight would be on them. The two were spotted together during India’s net session at Centurion on Sunday. Kohli and Rohit were batting side by side at nets and on most occasions they seemed to find the middle of the bat.
Here is the video of them smashing nets next to each other. Fans are already loving it.
