After playing an intra-squad match, the Indian cricketers were seen sweating it out in the nets, three days ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand from June 18. BCCI shared a video on Tuesday in which the skipper, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Ajinkya Rahane gearing up for the historic clash. The 32-year-old India captain middled the balls beautifully and played an exquisite cover drive before feeling down while ducking away on a bouncer.

Moments later, Kohli played a good-looking pull shot on a short of length delivery. Rishabh Pant played his attacking shots in the nets as well and smashed a gigantic six off Ravindra Jadeja. Ishant Sharma explained the trajectory of the ball after one his delivery came in after pitching on the middle stump. The video also shows the deputy skipper, Ajinkya Rahane facing the likes of Ishant and Mohammed Shami.

Earlier, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, and Mohammed Siraj were seen proving their worth in India’s intra-squad match. While Pant hit a quickfire hundred, Jadeja and Gill scored the fifties. Ishant took three wickets on the first day.

Team India is trying to acclimatize to the English conditions before locking horns with New Zealand, who won a Test series vs England in England on Sunday. Their bowlers shined in the 2nd Test at Edgbaston to help their team win by 8 wickets in the absence of regular skipper, Kane Williamson.
