On Tuesday, August 30, Virat Kohli uploaded a photo to his Twitter and Instagram accounts showing him working out in the gym. Kohli could be seen exercising his legs with dumbbells in the two pictures he tweeted. In addition, Kohli had his Bluetooth earbuds on while exercising.
At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on August 28, versus Pakistan, Kohli hit 35 runs off of 34 balls. But by no means did he appear to be in his peak physical condition. He began his innings with a dot ball before edging a Naseem Shah pitch directly to Fakhar Zaman.
Kohli attempted to play a long cover shot but ultimately found an outside edge. Fakhar attempted to dive onto his right but instead dropped him in the slip cordon, giving him the benefit of the doubt. After that, despite the fact that the ball had gone over the ropes at the fine leg region for a huge, he was caught off guard by a vicious bouncer from Haris Rauf.
Although both of them struggled to accelerate, Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma put together a useful partnership of 49 runs. Rohit had a difficult time during his time in the middle, scoring 12 runs off of 18 before being dismissed by a hasty swing from Mohammad Nawaz.
After taking out Kohli, who had attempted to chip Nawaz down the pitch but had been unsuccessful, Nawaz found himself on a hat-trick. With two balls remaining, India went on to win the match by five wickets, proving that Kohli's innings were not in vain.
On Wednesday, August 31 in Dubai, Kohli is anticipated to participate in India's second Group A encounter against Nizakat Khan's Hong Kong.
