Virat Kohli looks in fine fettle ahead of semi-final versus England

The ball pinged off Virat Kohli’s bat as he hit the nets ahead of India’s semifinal clash against England on Thursday, November 10. He played some crisp drives, both along the ground and in the air, while also guiding a short ball elegantly. With 252 runs, including three half-centuries, the former India captain is the tournament’s leading run-getter.

India topped the table in Group 2, having won four out of their five matches in the Super 12, including two close wins against neighbours Pakistan and Bangladesh. New Zealand and England qualified as the top two sides in Group 1.
