The ICC Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand is set to take place on Sunday in Dubai. However, ahead of the big match, Virat Kohli sustained an injury during net practice at the ICC Academy on Friday.
Kohli Hit by Fast Delivery in Nets
According to reports, Kohli was facing fast bowling in the nets when a quick delivery struck his knee. He immediately stopped practicing as the Indian team’s physio staff rushed to examine him. The medical team applied spray and bandaged the area before assessing his condition.
Kohli Observes Training Despite Injury
Despite the injury, Kohli stayed on the ground, watching the rest of the practice session. He also updated his teammates and coaching staff about his fitness. Later, the Indian coaching staff confirmed that the injury is not serious, and Kohli will be fit to play in the final.
Kohli’s Legacy and Comparison to Tendulkar
Virat Kohli is often compared to Sachin Tendulkar due to his similar batting style and achievements. Many former cricketers believe he is Tendulkar’s successor and expect him to break more records in the future. Kohli has already surpassed several of Tendulkar’s milestones.
As one of the biggest names in cricket, Kohli has always admired Sachin Tendulkar. He has even admitted that as a child, he tried to imitate Tendulkar’s batting style, considering him his role model.
With the final approaching, Indian fans will be relieved to know that Kohli is fit to play, as his performance could be crucial in securing the ICC Champions Trophy.
