IND vs SA: India's star batter Virat Kohli looked in great form and is set to go all guns blazing in the second ODI against South Africa as he was seen smashing sixes and entertaining the fans in the stadium in a training session. Kohli proved his naysayers wrong and proved why he is still one of the best players of the game as he scored his 52nd ODI century in the first match in Ranchi.
Kohli had hit seven sixes in his knock as he had scored 135 runs off 120 balls and helped the team beat South Africa in a high-scoring match. He had hit the second-most sixes in this format of the game that day. And it looks like he will try to maintain his sublime form as per the latest training session. The fans were in for a treat as the star batter had hit a few sixes towards them.
Kohli and Rohit were seen batting together in the training session ahead of the match, whereas Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy were also attending the training session and played some brilliant shots.

Ro-Ko in focus
All eyes will be on the star India duo of Rohit and Virat in Raipur. They had stitched a partnership of 136 runs in the first match, and that's what helped them win the match by 17 runs.
Kohli is also preparing himself to be in contention for India's 2027 World Cup team, and on Tuesday, he made himself available to play for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Rohit too might play for Mumbai, although there's no official confirmation yet from him.
