Champions Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli Makes Early Appearance at Training, Sharpens Skills Against Spin for IND vs PAK Clash

Champions Trophy 2025: Ahead of the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash, Virat Kohli has left no stone unturned to regain his form in the ongoing ICC competition. The India star was seen arriving at the ICC Academy two hours ahead of the given schedule to find a solution for his problems against spin bowling.

Virat Kohli Displays Commitment Amid Lean Patch, Arrives Early For Training

Virat Kohli has been troubled by spin bowling lately, and it was visible during the India-Bangladesh clash when he fell to leg-spinner Rishad Hossain's delivery after he was caught out at the backward point. England's Adil Rashid had dismissed the India star during the England ODIs. It was his sixth dismissal against the spinners, which stirred concern among the fans and pundits. If spin poses any issue, Kohli would have a difficult time against Pakistan while facing Abrar Ahmed.

Despite his lean form, Virat Kohli continues to be an exemplary role model for his commitment towards the game and his hunger to train hard. The former India skipper's struggles have been persistent, but he intends to push for excellence ahead of the marquee Champions Trophy clash between India and Pakistan. As Kohli's troubles against spin continued, the India star aimed to boldly confront the obstacle and arrived early for training to hone his skills. As per reports, the India star was seen arriving earlier than usual, and he primarily faced off against spinners, which included a couple of off-spinners and leg-break bowlers as well as a left-arm spinner.
