IND vs NZ: Shoaib Akhtar's fan clean bowled Virat Kohli, exposing his biggest weakness in Pune nets

After losing the first test in Bengaluru, now there are expectations of victory from Team India in the Pune Test. For the Indian team to live up to this expectation, Virat Kohli's bat must perform well. But is Virat really ready to play a big innings this time? Looking at what happened in the nets of Pune, there seems little hope, where a net bowler named Nadeem Sheikh exposed his weakness. He clean bowled him. And, when asked, he said that he has proved his ability against Kohli earlier also. Meaning, he has outed him.

Shoaib Akhtar's 'fan' clean bowled Virat Kohli!

Now you must be wondering who is this Nadeem Sheikh? Nadeem Sheikh said that he is a fast bowler who plays cricket from Solapur district in Maharashtra. In fast bowling, he follows Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, and Dale Steyn. Nadeem further said that he considers himself lucky that he got to bowl to Virat Kohli and he also took his wicket. Taking Virat Kohli's wicket is the dream of bowlers around the world. In such a situation, he is feeling very good.

What was the plan to get Virat Kohli out?

When Nadeem Sheikh was asked about the plan to get Virat Kohli out, he said that this is not the first time he has bowled to Team India's star batsman. Earlier, he has also bowled against him at CCI in Mumbai. Nadeem said that the plan was to bowl on the off stump and give his best in it. He said that he stuck to his plan and finally got the wicket.

Nadeem said that when he bowled the ball on his feet, Virat played it well. But he was beaten many times on the balls going outside the off stump. He said that during practice in Mumbai, he had dismissed him in the slips 3-4 times. Meanwhile, in Pune, he has clean-bowled Virat.

Virat's weakness was exposed!

It is clear that Nadeem Sheikh has once again exposed Virat Kohli's biggest weakness in the nets of Pune. He has said that balls going outside the off stump are Virat Kohli's problem. As far as Nadeem Sheikh's future plans are concerned, he first wants to represent Maharashtra. After that, he wants to play for Team India. Nadeem Sheikh's favorite team in IPL is CSK.
