Team India stalwarts Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara went full tilt during practice ahead of the WTC Final. The Men in Blue have undergone a comprehensive training routine at the Arundel Cricket Club.

On Thursday, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and others were seen batting on dusty wickets. The Oval is expected to offer a bit more turn than the traditional English wickets. Thus the Indian stalwarts are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations.

Rohit Sharma meanwhile worked on his backfoot game. Shubman Gill. KS Bharat, Axar Patel, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane also had a bat in the nets.
