Team India is still celebrating its Test-series win over England. However, the focus now moves to the limited-overs format, as the teams would now square off in a five-match Twenty20 International series.

Meanwhile, things would not be as easy in T20Is, since England happens to be the number one team in the format. Furthermore, the unpredictability of the format makes every team equally favourite to win.

As the players are leaving no stones unturned to prepare for the series in the best possible manner, skipper Virat Kohli, too, is doing it no differently. He shared a video of his practice sessions from the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where all five games would be held.

In the video, Kohli is seen practising all kinds of strokes, including some big ones, as he looks fierce and seems ready to go big in the series. Furthermore, since he is without an international century for more than a year, he would look to develop a splendid performance in this series to prove why he is still the best batsman in the world across formats.

Meanwhile, India would also aim for the top spot in the ICC T20I Rankings. A 5-0 or 4-1 win would be enough for the host to take the spot. India is on a seven-series unbeaten streak in the format and is definitely the favourite to make it eight. However, it certainly won't be easy.
