Virat Kohli put in a memorable performance for Team India in their first T20 World Cup 2022 warmup match against Australia on Monday. Not only did he pull off a magnificent direct hit to dismiss Tim David, but he also followed it up with another splendid one-handed catch on the boundary line to save the game.
In the end, India prevailed by six runs, with Australia losing four wickets in the last four balls. However, it wasn't a memorable day for Virat with the bat as he could only score 19 runs.
Seemingly unsatisfied with his time in the middle, the 33-year-old spent nearly 40 minutes in the nets after India's warmup match against Australia.

What made it a sight to behold was that Kohli was also joined by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the nets. The former Indian skipper was the only Indian player present there along with the Indian support staff, while Babar and Rizwan practised in the nets as they were rested for Pakistan's warmup match against England.

Players of both teams were also spotted attending each other's matches on Monday, as India played against Australia, followed by Pakistan's clash against England. While KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav's fifties propelled the Men in Blue to a close win, Babar's side missed him as they lost by six wickets.
