Injury blow for Team India, Ponting's prediction and more - Cricket News Today, 30th November 2018

#4 Ashwin remarks at Kohli rolling his arm over

For fans of Virat Kohli, batsman-par-excellence, it is rare to see his military medium pace being employed, far less than what it used to be in the initial part of his career. Possessing a unique bowling style, Kohli doesn't bowl as frequently now, perhaps due to the risk of injury, especially after his neck and back problems recently.

Much to everyone's surprise, Kohli decided to showcase his quirky bowling action to the Sydney crowd, during the ongoing practice game against Cricket Australia XI. Twitter was abuzz with short videos of Kohli bowling; he started off looking a little rusty and bowled just two overs.

Ravichandran Ashwin, India's premier off-spinner, who later took questions from reporters, jokingly remarked at Kohli's decision to roll his arm over:

"I think he was just dishing out a lesson to all the bowlers on probably where to bowl. But jokes aside, I think he just wanted to bowl a couple of overs because the bowlers were tiring out and before the second new ball came into play - that's about it", Ashwin told reporters.
