Team India will ‘officially’ kick off their preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 on Monday (October 17) when they take on hosts Australia in a warm-up clash at the Gabba in Brisbane. The teams recently met in a three-match T20I series in India which the hosts won 2-1

Fast bowler Mohammad Shami also joined the Indian team in Brisbane, for his first practice session since arrival in Australia as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, who was ruled out of the tournament with a stress reaction in his back.

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli on Monday, as the former captain did not play against Western Australia, instead opting for net sessions as well as centre wicket practice after the games concluded. He is expected to feature for India in these two warm-up matches, though the focus will continue to be providing everyone with opportunities.

Ahead of the warm-up game, Kohli was seen in a lighter mood with KL Rahul, Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, as he showed off some funny dance moves which left his teammates in splits.

The animated Kohli also displayed some dance moves and as ever he was looking very enthusiastic, which is a good sign for Indian cricket fans.
