On Monday, Kohli bowled with his cross-legged action for nearly 30 minutes in the nets after batting for an hour on the eve of the series opener against Australia.

This is not the first time Kohli was bowling in the nets in the last few years. He does that quite often.

The way Team India have been experimenting with their line-up, we might see the 33-year-old star batter as India's sixth/seventh bowler.
