Battling a prolonged lean patch, former India captain Virat Kohli batted at the nets and also took throw-downs during India's first practice session ahead of Twenty20 series against the West Indies.

Later he had a lengthy net session, spanning more than 45 minutes. India skipper Rohit Sharma along with coach Rahul Dravid were also seen in a long discussion with curator Sujan Mukherjee.
Washington Sundar was on Monday ruled out of the three-match T20 International series against the West Indies due to a hamstring injury, adding to his never-ending woes.

Virat Kohli's prolonged lean patch is not a concern for the Indian team, batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Monday, expressing confidence that the superstar batter would be back among runs in the upcoming T20I series against West Indies in Kolkata.

The second day of the IPL 2022 auction is underway in Bengaluru on Sunday and all the IPL teams are busy completing their squads. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have a lot of work to do on the second day as they had a rather quiet outing on day 1 of the auction, although the two teams did break the bank to get Ishan Kishan and Deepak Chahar back into the fold, respectively. New boys Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are looking to add to the big names they bought on day 1. Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are making some big moves, thanks to their large purse and Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals have made some interesting buys too.
India skipper Rohit Sharma has said the team management isn't worried about Virat Kohli's form as the former captain has scored runs in recent series. Kohli had last scored a century in 2019 against Bangladesh in a day-night Test at the Eden Gardens and since then the batter has failed to reach 100 in any format. In the West Indies series too, Kohli scored 26 runs and got out for a duck in the third ODI on Friday. But when skipper Rohit was asked about Kohli's form, the opening batter said he is not worried about the form.
