Virat Kohli shows intense focus during training in Mount Maunganui

The batter engaged in competitive practice sessions with various bowlers ahead of the fourth ODI against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli displayed high energy during a training session in Mount Maunganui on Thursday, ahead of the fourth ODI against New Zealand, according to the Times of India.

The batter participated in a lively session involving fast bowlers Gurnoor Brar, Mohammed Siraj, and Arshdeep Singh, as well as spinners Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, and Kuldeep Yadav.

During a contest with Arshdeep Singh, the left-arm seamer dismissed Kohli, leading to a period of competitive banter between the two players.

Kohli later faced Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled a delivery that played back to the batter towards his stumps.

While sharing his experience, Kohli discussed the importance of bowling lengths and mentioned an instance of facing a sharp delivery from Jofra Archer in the IPL.

The session included a football segment with Brar and a cool-down chat with stand-in skipper Shreyas Iyer before Kohli signed autographs for fans.
