WATCH: That’s call dedication! Virat Kohli stright to practice after stumps, Gambhir walked in

On the first day of the Pune Test, New Zealand’s first innings total ended at 259, mainly thanks to Washington Sundar’s impressive 7-wicket haul. At the end of the day, India scored 16 runs for the loss of one wicket. In spite of the ups and downs of the match, the atmosphere was full of excitement and brought some vigor to the visiting team.

Sundar’s brilliant bowling performance grabbed the headlines, but after the day’s play, Virat Kohli grabbed everyone’s attention when he took to the field for a practice session with his bat. Wearing pads, Kohli’s dedication to the game enthralled the crowd, who appreciated his commitment even after long days on the pitch. It wasn’t just a regular net session; He used to practice there by himself.

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Kohli on camera. Moments later, Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir approached him, and the two shared a laugh before Gambhir left, allowing Kohli to continue the practice.

Apart from the practice session, Kohli also attracted attention with his unique gait while leaving the field. The audience loved their behavior so much that it added to the excitement of the day. He remained in the headlines even after Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck in India’s first innings. Kohli, who was batting at number four, joked with Akashdeep, who came to the field as a night watchman, and there was a cheerful atmosphere despite the situation.
