New Delhi: Ahead of the much anticipated high-octane clash between India and Pakistan, Men in Blue skipper Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli sweat it out during the training sessions.
BCCI uploaded a video on social media where India’s two premium batters pull off all the stocks in their artillery during the net sessions. ‘#TeamIndia captain @rohitsharma45 & @virat.kohli get into the groove ahead of the first clash against Pakistan’, BCCI wrote.

“What happened in England was a pattern, so something that I could work on and something that I had to kind of overcome. Right now, as you rightly mentioned, there is nothing that you can point out saying that the problem is happening here. So, that for me, is actually an easier thing to process because I know that I’m batting well and at times, when I start feeling that rhythm back, then I know that I’m batting well. So, that for me is not an issue, which wasn’t the case in England; I didn’t feel like I was batting well at all. So, I had to work hard on one thing that could be exposed again and again which I overcame; right now this is not the case,” Kohli said exclusively on Star Sports show ‘Game Plan’.
The main tournament will feature six teams divided into two groups. India, Pakistan and the qualifier are in Group A while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan form Group B. Each team plays within the group once.
The top-two teams from each group will further play in a ‘Super 4’ round, meaning there is a high probability of at least another India – Pakistan game in the second round before the final where the top two would feature.
