Centurion: We are exactly a day away from the start of the much-awaited Boxing Day Test. And the two highlights from an Indian point of view is the return of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma. The two senior have been out of action after the ODI World Cup. With Rohit and Kohli joining the squad, all the spotlight would be on them. The two were spotted together during India’s net session on Sunday at Centurion. Kohli and Rohit were batting in nets beside each other and they looked to be finding the middle of the bat on most occasions.
Here is the clip of them batting in nets next to each other. Fans are already loving it.

India will look to break the 31-year jinx of not winning a Test series in South Africa. It will certainly not be easy in the South African conditions. Kohli and Rohit would have to play a big part in it if that has to happen.
