Summary
Batsmen don't like to be beaten, but if you're the captain, and one of your fast bowlers is making the ball do all sorts of things in the nets, you might get excited even if you're at the receiving end.Virat Kohli was certainly excited when Mohammed Shami swerved two successive balls into him in the nets at the Hagley Oval. The effect of this was magnified by the circumstances: India had only made 165 in their first innings, and one more of their fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah, was also looking off-colour.Another bowler might have switched to a more defensive Plan B in those circumstances, but Shami largely kept bowling the same way.
