Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been working extremely hard in nets ahead of India's rescheduled fifth Test match versus England at Edgbaston.
Ahead of India's rescheduled fifth Test match against England, the spotlight has been on Virat Kohli who is raring to make his comeback to the Indian team, after being rested versus South Africa.
While Kohli failed to impress with the bat in IPL 2022 as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) reached the IPL 2022 playoffs, he was subsequently rested for the five-match T20I versus South Africa. The 33-year-old utilised that break to fly to the Maldives for a short vacation with his wife Anushka Sharma and their daughter Vamika.
As per the latest reports, Virat has tested positive for Covid-19 after returning from Maldives, however, he is said to have recovered from the virus.

The county side have been sharing videos and photos of the practice sessions of Indian players, and recently, they shared a video of King Kohli sweating it out in the nets.
Calling the legendary batsman 'a master at work', Leicestershire shared the video on their Twitter handle.

Earlier, India's tour of England in 2021 had to be halted in a similar fashion as the fifth match had to be postponed, because of a covid scare in the Indian contingent. The rescheduled fifth Test will now be played at Edgbaston, after which the two teams will go head to head in a three-match T20I series, followed by an ODI series of as many games.
