The first test between these two teams ended in a draw at Kanpur.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ahead of the 2nd test at Mumbai, BCCI posted a video of Virat Kohli batting in the nets. Kohli displayed an excellent connection between bat &amp; ball, producing a sweet smacking sound every time he connected with the ball.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\">KING KOHLI Is Back<br \/>\r\n.<br \/>\r\n.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiancricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiancricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/teamindia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#teamindia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INDvNZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#INDvNZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NewZealand?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NewZealand<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/viratkohli?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#viratkohli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DNkipPZi4g\">pic.twitter.com\/DNkipPZi4g<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1466374408587653133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>Virat Kohli has excellent numbers batting in tests at Wankhede. He has registered 433 runs to his name in 4 matches. Kohli&#39;s test average at Wankhede is 72.16, with the highest score of 235 runs to his name. The legendary batter scored his last century in 2019 and would be looking to end the drought here.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, he&#39;ll be facing another dilemma. Shreyas Iyer who made his debut in Kanpur, scored a century &amp; a half-century, hence excluding him doesn&#39;t seem sensible. Pujara &amp; Rahane are going through a string of bad form but with the backing they have received from the Indian management, it seems improbable that they&#39;ll be left out. The question - who will make place for Virat Kohli in playing XI?<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
