Virat Kohli's Heartwarming Gesture Amazes Net Bowler Who Dismissed Him Twice with 135kph Deliveries: 'Kitne Saal ke Ho?'

If you're a Virat Kohli fan, stay tuned for updates on his ongoing challenges. Despite facing some struggles recently, Kohli continues to work hard in the nets to find his form. Dismissed for low scores in the first Test, he is determined to improve his performance before the second game. Keep supporting Kohli as he battles through this tough phase and strives to bounce back stronger than ever.

Kohli's troubles in the nets wasn't only confined to India's bowlers. He was also dismissed by a net bowler named Jamshed Alam. A fast bowler from Lucknow bowling in the mid 130s, Alam foxed Kohli and got him out not once, but twice. As the youngster was in the middle of cherishing his once-in-a-lifetime moment – one he will live to tell his grandchildren – the occasion just got that much better when Kohli acknowledged just how good the ball was.

"I bowled 24 balls to Virat Kohli. My speed was around 135 kmph and I got him out twice. The practice pitch was helping pacers, though the Kanpur pitch generally helps spinners. Virat Kohli told me, 'Well bowled bhai, kitne saal ke ho (How old are you)? I told him that I am 22. He replied, mehnat karte raho (keep working hard). I am over the moon after dismissing him," Alam told .

In the build-up to the Chennai game, Kohli looked slightly unglued facing the six-foot-tall Gurnoor Brar. However, he soon got into his zone and unleashed a couple of thunderous pulls shots to ease some nerves. First Gurnoor, and now Alam, it's as if Kohli is at a bit of discomfort in the nets, which is reflecting in his batting out in the middle. In the first Tests, Kohli fell to two of his biggest weaknesses – if you will – as he first edged Hasan Mahmud to Mushfiqur Rahim behind the stumps and then got out LBW to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. It was Kohli's 39th dismissal to an off-spinner in Tests, and a controversial one at that as he refused to take the DRS despite edging the ball.

Kohli holds the key to India's fortunes, and with three Tests to go ahead of the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, he would want to get bac in the same groove as he was in South Africa or the ODI World Cup before that. Kohli emerged as the leading run-scorer of that tournament in India and looked supremely confident during his knock of 76 against South Africa in Centurion. There onward, it's been a mixed bag of form for Kohli as after scoring 741 runs in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, form completely deserted him during the T20 World Cup.

It was his greatness that Kohli mustered every bit of his courage and determination to hit a match-winning fifty in the final of the T20 World Cup, but he once again seems to be stuck in a rut – as his returns in the Sri Lanka ODIs and the Chennai Test prove. With India eyeing a place in the World Test Championship final, hoping to get a third time lucky, all eyes will be on Kohli and how he shapes up from here.
