Former Pakistan skipper, Shahid Afridi seems to be in awe of Virat Kohli’s dedication during a net session. On Tuesday, October 5, Kohli, who’s currently leading the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 14th edition of the tournament, posted a video where he can be seen batting in the nets. Kohli must be high on confidence as the Challengers have already reached the playoffs for the season.
Although Kohli has had an on-off season so far with the bat, he has been leading the team with dignity. Placed at No.3 in the points table, RCB is set to play their next league game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH ) on Wednesday, October 6 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. They also have the chance of toppling Chennai Super Kings (CSK), to reach the second position in the table.

The Hawks went on to become the champions, beating the Muzaffarabad Tigers by eight runs in the final. Afridi has often failed to do well with teh bat as he amassed 52 runs from four innings at an average of 13. The veteran also picked up eight wickets at an economy rate of 7.50.
