Patak, patak, patak….Similar sounds are coming from Virat Kohli's bat at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This sound was so loud that the ears of the players standing nearby must have gone numb. Before the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat Kohli sweated profusely on the nets. This player played amazing shots. He neither spared the spinners nor spared the fast bowler Virat. He showed the balls of all the bowlers to the boundary. Some similar practice was also done by Bangalore captain Faf Duplesey.

In the video posted on the IPL website, the captain of RCB was also seen playing scintillating shots. Drive, aerial fire… the RCB captain did everything. Both Virat Kohli and Duplessy were middle of the ball and watching the video it seemed as if both would tear the ball.

Virat-Duplessy are in colour
This video of Virat Kohli and Duplesey's practice proves that both of them are in amazing form. The feat done by both of them against Mumbai Indians is now ready to be repeated in Kolkata as well. Let us tell you that RCB won its first match in a one-sided fashion. The target of 172 runs against Mumbai Indians was achieved by RCB in 16.2 overs by losing 2 wickets.

Virat-Duplessy did wonders
Virat Kohli and Faf Duplesey had set the tone against Mumbai with runs. There was a century partnership between the two. Captain Duplesey scored 73 runs in 43 balls and Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion unbeaten after scoring 82 runs. Virat Kohli hit 5 sixes and Duplessi hit 6 sixes. Now both these players are expected to perform similarly against Kolkata Knight Riders. Now it remains to be seen what will happen in Eden Gardens.
