Young pacer Ravi Kumar, who was a part of the Dhull-led Indian side, had asked Kohli about the latter’s weakness during the one-off session over a zoom call.

Have you started training to get me out already, laughs)?” Batting icon Kohli had a memorable interaction with young guns Rajvardhan Hagargekar, Kaushal Tambe and U-19 captain Dhull ahead of the U-19 World Cup final.
