Virat Kohli is gearing up for his much-anticipated return to international cricket, and his latest training session has already set social media buzzing. With the ODI series against England just around the corner, the batting icon appears determined to hit peak form, giving fans plenty of reasons to be excited.
Kohli, who recently recovered from a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the ODI series against Afghanistan, has resumed full-scale training.
A viral video shows the former India captain arriving at the practice venue with his kit bag before being greeted by former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar. The two are later seen discussing various aspects of the game as Bangar guides Kohli through an extended net session.

According to reports, Kohli recently completed an intensive training programme in Alibaug and Mumbai alongside Bangar, focusing on sharpening his technique and preparing for the challenges ahead.
The England series, beginning on July 14, is expected to mark the return of both Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who now play only ODI cricket following their retirement from Tests and T20 Internationals.
With a lighter international schedule, every appearance by Kohli has become a major occasion for Indian cricket fans. The upcoming series will not only be his first international assignment since India's Champions Trophy triumph but will also provide an early glimpse into the team's preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
If the viral training video is any indication, King Kohli looks ready to make his return count.
