Virat Kohli bowls off-spin in nets, catches Cheteshwar Pujara off-guard

Hyderabad: India have tried many different bowling combinations during the ongoing 13-Test long home season. With five of these 13 Tests yet to take place, the Indian cricket fans could very well expect a couple of new things being tried out in the one-off Test against Bangladesh.

India captain Virat Kohli does not turn his arm over quite often, but when he is in the mood, he can do it with devastating effect.

The ardent fans of the Indian cricket team would remember the ICC World T20 final last year, when Kohli turned over his arm, to pick up the important wicket of Johnson Charles 52 from 36 balls. India may have lost that match, but Kohli had a memorable day, scoring 89 runs (unbeaten) and taking one wicket.

On Wednesday, those present at India’s net practice were treated to this rare sight once again, as Kohli took up the ball to bowl to Cheteswar Pujara, according to a report in Hindustan Times.
