India vs. Bangladesh Kanpur nets cues for the second test Bumrah and Axar's troubles against Virat Kohli, and Bangladesh's Shakib dilemma

Jasprit Bumrah bowled Virat Kohli in the nets with about 15 deliveries under the sweltering sun at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium, and he "got him out" four times.When Kohli hit his signature cover drive on the next ball, the local cops, grounds crew, and a few journalists in the stands went crazy. Bumrah retreated and bowled at the fourth stump line, but Kohli edged it because the length was shorter this time.After that, Bumrah switched his assault to the middle and leg stumps, outwitting Kohli twice in a row. After the inside edge struck the pads on both occasions, the ball lobbed. After giving him a smile and teasing him, Bumrah said, "Aakhiri wala toh short leg ka catch tha (The short leg could have catched the last one)." Kohli grinned and went to the parallel net, where Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin were bowling.Kohli's difficulties against spinners have gained notoriety in the recent past. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an off-spinner, dismissed him for 17 in Chennai, making it the 18th occasion since 2021 that Kohli was dismissed by spinners.

In the Kanpur nets, he was having trouble against the Indian spin trio as well, particularly the two left-arm spinners. In an attempt to play inside-out against Jadeja, Kohli missed three straight and appeared frustrated. But what really caught people's attention was when Axar took out the master batsman through the fence. Before Shubman Gill replaced him in the nets, that was the final ball that Kohli played.Shakib is available and fit. During Bangladesh's morning practice, Shakib Al Hasan padded up and faced the local spinners for five to seven minutes on two separate occasions. He stormed off in anger both times, heading for the Bangladeshi dressing room. Shakib bowled only 21 overs in Chennai, going wicketless, and scored 32 and 25 in Bangladesh’s 280-run loss. In the 53rd over of India's opening session, he came into the game. During the broadcast, Murali Kartik mentioned that Shakib had informed him about his shoulder and finger tingling.On Wednesday, though, Bangladesh's head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe played down worries about Shakib's fitness following his finger injury in Chennai. I have not heard from my physiotherapist or anybody else at this time. "He remains qualified for selection," Hathurusinghe informed the press.
