Virat Kohli gears up for Asia Cup 2022

(FASTNEWS | INDIA) – Batting superstar Virat Kohli has started training for the Asia Cup 2022 which gets underway in Dubai this Saturday.

The Rohit Sharma-led India will be opening their campaign against Pakistan on Sunday in a much-awaited clash – the first meeting between the two old rivals since the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Kohli has been battling a major slump and Asia Cup provides him with a big opportunity to get back to his old self.

He was part of India’s squad for the England tour where his highest score across formats was 20 in the second innings of rescheduled Edgbaston Test.

The Indian team has reached UAE for the Asia Cup with BCCI sharing a clip of the cricketers mingling with opposition players as they arrived for their first training session.

The 33-year-old, who has scored 3308 runs from 91 innings in T20iS, looked in fine touch, consistently middling the ball.

Kohli has been under fire for his massive slump. He hasn’t scored a century across formats since November 2019 and questions are being raised over his place in the shortest format now.
