Suryaa Sports Desk: The Indian cricket team is currently preparing for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. During a practice session held on Sunday, young pacer Aqib Nabi drew attention with his bowling performance against star batter Virat Kohli.
Aqib Nabi, who was added to the squad following the injury of Prasidh Krishna, utilized precise line and length to challenge Kohli. The young bowler moved the ball both ways, with several inswinging and outswinging deliveries beating the batter's edge or hitting his pads. While Kohli faced difficulties against the bowling, he later regained his rhythm and played several shots.
Aqib Nabi previously demonstrated consistent performance while playing for India A. Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma was also observed practicing, focusing on assessing the nature of the ball. Analysts suggest that facing such challenges from young bowlers in the nets serves as effective preparation for the Indian batting lineup ahead of the first ODI.
