Video – Virat Kohli Advises Jasprit Bumrah To Take A Cue From English Bowlers
Jan 31, 2017 at 4:09 PM
Thanks to a gritty innings from opener KL Rahul, India could register a competitive first innings total of 144-8 on a wicket that remained two paced. After winning yet another crucial toss, Eoin Morgan put India in to bat and that move paid off in no time. The hosts got off to a slow start before skipper Virat Kohli led the onslaught with a couple of boundaries and a classy six straight down the ground.
However, once Kohli was dismissed, the Indians were in an absolute mess as Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh endured a horrible phase in the middle. KL Rahul, on the other end, was going all guns blazing and played a single handed knock.
During India’s innings though, there was a moment worth noticing as Virat Kohli was witnessed advising Jasprit Bumrah about the ideal line and lengths for the pitch at Nagpur. The wicket wasn’t too easy for batting and the England bowlers utilized that by altering their lengths exceptionally.
In the video below, taken during the latter stage of India’s innings, Kohli is seen guiding Bumrah about the appropriate lengths which he should be hitting in order to ensure that the Indian bowling remains on the money.
