Virat Kohli shared gym video, said there is no substitute for hard work
The third Test match of the five-match series between India and England is to be played from August 25 at the Headingley Ground in Leeds. Team India is leading the series 1-0 and would like to win the Test match and take an unassailable lead in the series. If India wins this Test match, then it will be 2-0 ahead in the series and after that England will not be able to win the series even if they win the last two Tests. Before the Headingley Test, Virat Kohli has given a warning to the England team by sharing a video of the workout.
While sharing the video of weightlifting, Virat wrote, ‘There is really no other substitute for hard work.’ Virat Kohli’s batting form is not very special. In the first Test of the series, he was the victim of a golden duck in the first innings. In both the innings of the second test, he scored 42 and 20 runs respectively. Virat is not able to convert a good start into a big innings. Virat is getting out after tampering with the ball going out. All cricket fans are sitting with the expectation of a big innings from Virat.
The first match of the series between India and England was played in Nottingham, where Team India was in the driving seat on the last day of the match, but the last day’s play could not be played due to rain and the match ended in a draw. After this, on the historic ground of Lord’s, Team India came back strongly on the last day and won by 151 runs.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
