New Delhi, Aug 8
Amidst ongoing speculation over his future in international cricket, talismanic India batter Virat Kohli has returned to training in London and expressed gratitude to Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Naeem Amin for help in an indoor practice session.
"Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you," Kohli wrote in his Instagram story, sharing a photo of him with Amin from the session. “Good to see you, brother! See you soon," Amin said, resharing the story on his account.
Amin runs the Mighty Willow Academy in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and London, and was previously with the Sunrisers Hyderabad coaching staff in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Previously, India’s fast-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya had come to Amin’s academy for quality practice sessions.
Both Kohli and Rohit Sharma - who have also stepped away from Tests and T20Is - are expected to return for the ODI leg of India’s white-ball tour of Australia, starting on October 19 at Perth Stadium, and are followed by matches at Adelaide Oval and Sydney Cricket Ground on October 23 and 25, respectively.
