Team India is facing Western Australia XI in the second practice game on Thursday before they head for the T20 World Cup warm-up fixtures. Speaking of the first practice match, India defeated Western Australia XI by 13 runs. However, the first match did not see Virat Kohli and few other players taking the field.

 

Talking about the second practice game which is currently being played in Perth, KL Rahul-led Team India opted to bowl first after winning the toss. The side restricted WA XI to 168/8 in their 20 overs quota. R Ashwin was the pick for the bowlers, scalping three wickets.

 

But to everyone’s surprise, Virat Kohli who missed the first match, was not named in the XI on Thursday. However, the former India captain took the field during the first innings of the game, leaving fans confused. Some even spoke about him being unfit after being named in the extras for the practice match.
