Virat Kohli reveals the best footballer in the team –
“I feel that best part of my game is sprinting and passing the bowl accurately to the guys who score goals. MS (Dhoni) I think would be right winger because he is pretty quick as well or maybe he can be centre-forward as well. His positioning is very well and he reads passes very well. Manish (Pandey) is the best footballer in the team. He is playing in the midfield position,” he concluded.
The players have been warming up, but the 3rd #INDvAUS T20I toss has been delayed due to a wet outfield.
