Senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma looked in good touch as India went through a rigorous training session here on Friday, ahead of their three-match ODI series vs New Zealand.
The ODI series starting here on Sunday will be followed by a long T20I season, which includes a five-match series against the Kiwis, the T20 World Cup, and then the Indian Premier League.
Both Kohli and Rohit spent nearly one-and-a-half hours against Indian pacers, spinners and throw-down specialists after playing two matches each in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Having struck 77 and 131 in the two matches of the premier domestic competition, Kohli went hard against the Indian spinners and pacers alike.
However, India's middle-order mainstay Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, as well as pacer Mohammed Siraj, weren't a part of the three-hour training session, having played for their respective state teams in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday.
