T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli and Babar Azam train together ahead of India-Pakistan clash #watch

India will start their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia on October 23. 

Both the sides played their first official warm-up games on Monday, with the Men in Blue winning their match by six runs against Australia. However, the Men in Green suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of England.

Following the completion of the warm-up matches, star Indian batter Virat Kohli and Pakistan captain Babar Azam were found training together at the nets in Gabba. Babar skipped the warm-up game against England with Shadab Khan leading the side. But, Kohli scored a cameo of 19 from 13 balls in the practice game against defending World Champions Australia.

However, Kohli was brilliant in the field effecting an incredible run-out and then taking a stunning one-handed catch off Mohammed Shami. 

A video of Kohli and Babar batting together in the adjoining nets has gone viral on social media.
