Team India hit the nets ahead of the second Test of the series against England.
There was a lot of intensity as Team India took to the nets to prepare for the second test match against England starting Thursday at Lord's.
The main focus was on Kohli who spent his time facing pacers in the nets. Every batsman made the conscious decision of following the Virat-Kohli-template when it comes to countering the swing by standing outside the crease. Coach Ravi Shastri stationed himself at the pacers' net and kept shouting instructions.
