Ahead of the first Test in Dominica, Kohli shared a picture while sweating at the gym with his trainer. The picture got viral as soon as it was shared on Social Media.

Team India is scheduled to play two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is in West Indies. The Test series will also mark the beginning of the World Championship 2023-25 cycle for both teams. Meanwhile, the ODI series will be a good practice ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup which will be hosted by them.

Kohli got tricked by Jaydev Unadkat in the practice session

As all the players from the Indian team have reached West Indies a few days before the first Test. they had an ideal opportunity to test their skills before taking on the hosts. They practiced a matchlike situation in Barbados with top-order batters like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and frontline bowlers likeJaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Siraj, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja getting divided into two different teams.

The batters came out in pairs before they were dismissed. Skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal played decent knocks in the first session, After that, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill came out to bat in the post-lunch session. However, Kohli couldn’t spend much time on the crease as he was dismissed early by the pacer Jaydev Unadkat.

The 34-year-old started off his innings comfortably against Jadeja and seemed to have full control of the innings even against Unadkat. When Unadkat tried to bring the ball back in or angle it away from over the wicket, the former India captain played a delightful flick shot for a couple off Unadkat.

However, Kohli was flattered when Unadkat changed the angle and went around the wicket. The left-arm pacer pitched one around the fourth stump and got it to just hold its line. After that, Kohli ended up pushing at the ball with no assertive foot movement and ended up giving a catch to the second slip fielder.
