After suffering a big defeat by 10 wickets in Adelaide, Team India is now preparing for the match to be held at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. The Indian team practiced vigorously on Thursday. The most special thing seen in the practice was that Virat Kohli was seen in a different color. In Thursday's training session, Virat Kohli repeated the work that he used to do during his captaincy. According to reports, Virat Kohli addressed all his fellow players for the first time after leaving the captaincy.

Virat filled the players with fire

After the crushing defeat in Adelaide, Team India needed some inspiration and Kohli took this initiative to guide the youth of the team. When Kohli was the captain, he used to talk to the players a lot during training sessions. He stopped this after leaving the captaincy, but after four consecutive defeats, there is a lot of pressure on captain Rohit and that is why Virat himself took the responsibility of instilling fire in the players. All the players including Rohit listened carefully to Virat.

Virat practiced with two bats

Virat Kohli also practiced vigorously on the Brisbane ground. He was seen facing bowlers like Bumrah and Siraj. He was seen batting till the longest. He was bowled short ball and slightly outside the off stump, which is his weak side. Virat Kohli was seen playing on the back foot because there is extra bounce on the Gabba pitch and bowling is done more on the back foot than the front foot. Virat was a flop in the Adelaide Test but he had scored an unbeaten century in Perth, he will enter Brisbane with that confidence.

Rohit also batted

Rohit Sharma also practiced a lot in the nets. He was seen practicing with both old and new balls. After the training session, he had a long conversation with head coach Gautam Gambhir. It seemed as if he was discussing batting technique. Gambhir was seen shadow driving in front of him. Rohit was watching him very carefully. Rohit has been practicing a lot but now it remains to be seen how he performs in the Test starting from 14th December. Well, the question is whether he will open or be seen in the middle order.
