Several Indian players have started training for the World Test Championship final as they reached London early after their teams failed to qualify for the playoffs. While the second batch of players left on Sunday night. Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jaydev Unadkat flew in last night and will start training in London soon.
While the players of Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will travel after the IPL 2023 final.
Meanwhile, Kohli has been in incredible form in recent times and has scored 639 runs in IPL 2023 including two centuries. He did his best to take RCB to the playoffs with two consecutive hundreds in the last two league stage matches but a loss against Gujarat Titans cost him the jersey.
The batsman also scored a brilliant Test century against Australia in the last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy before IPL 2023.
Recently, former BCCI selector MSK Prasad said that the 34-year-old has set a very high standard for himself and the captaincy has put a little extra pressure on him during his tough times.
“2021-22 has not been very good for him. But that’s because we expect too much of him. He has set very high standards for himself. He has to score a century in every match, otherwise it is a failure. But after all he is a human. The pressure of captaincy saw him struggle for a while, but once he found his rhythm and clarity, he hasn’t looked back. He has been in great form since last year’s Asia Cup and has scored hundreds across formats.
