“Well, Bumrah is playing with the team for last four years now, and this is probably the second time I have ever got out in the net, hitting a few against him and not getting out. I’m glad that was the last ball of my net session because he ran back to his mark, but I got out. It’s fun sort of competition, he’s according to me the most skillful bowler and to play against him, he brings match intensity at the nets,” Kohli said during the press conference.

With David Warner and Steve Smith’s inclusion, Australia have become a way too strong side to take on any side in the game. After returning from one year ban, both Warner and Smith started well. While Warner showed his class in the Indian Premier League and ICC World Cup last year, Smith was fabulous during the Ashes.
