After a disappointing loss in Perth, Team India’s focus has shifted to Adelaide, and this time, it’s all business. No crowd, no noise, just pure grind. At the Adelaide Oval, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma walked into their first nets session without the crowd present, one that said it all: redemption starts here.
Empty Stands, Full Focus
Unlike previous tours, the practice session had no spectators, crowd entry wasn't allowed this time, making the Adelaide Oval silent. But the emptiness didn’t dull the energy. Both Kohli and Rohit were completely locked in, working relentlessly under the hot Australian sun.
Observers noted a different side of Kohli this time, relaxed, smiling between drills, yet razor-sharp when batting. He batted for nearly 40 minutes against the throwdown specialists, adjusting to the bounce and joking with teammates between deliveries. “This is a four,” he said after one clean hit, that trademark Kohli confidence still shining through.
Rohit’s Tactical Grind
Rohit Sharma, too, was all focus. He split his session into two phases. The calm, calculated approach showed that the former skipper isn’t panicking, he’s preparing.
All Eyes on Adelaide
After the Perth disappointment, India’s two stalwarts know what’s at stake. This is their last tour of Australia, and both are determined to make it count.
Adelaide is known for producing magical Virat-Rohit moments, and if this silent grind is anything to go by, another chapter might just be loading.
