Kohli stole the show during his innings since it appeared that he was trying to copy Joe Root’s bat-balancing style. The former captain of India attempted to keep the bat still for a while but was unsuccessful. During the Lord’s Test match against New Zealand a few weeks ago, Root displayed his mystical abilities by balancing his bat.
India chose to bat after winning the toss in the game. The visitor’s innings, which had gotten off to a strong start, was ruined by the rapid departures of Shubman Gill (21) and Rohit (25). In addition to struggling, Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer were expelled for 3 and 0, respectively. It’s interesting to note that Prasidh fired Iyer immediately after consulting Kohli.
After India struggled in the first session, a lot was placed on Kohli, but he was unable to turn his start into a significant one. KS Bharat has demonstrated his batting prowess by surpassing the 50-run threshold. Umesh Yadav also joins him.
Roman Walker, who has a five-for, has been the standout bowler for Leicestershire. He has never played first-class cricket, and because it was just a practise match, his five-wicket haul won’t count toward his total. Prasidh has so far removed one batsman while Bumrah has yet to record a wicket.
