In an exclusive conversation with News18 CricketNext last year, the young all-rounder spoke about his experience of bowling to Kohli in the RCB nets.

“Of course, you learn a lot when Virat Kohli is around. His body language and his work ethics are just amazing. I really used to feel very good whenever I was up against him in the nets. I always tried to impress him and showcase my talent in front of him,” Anshul had told CricketNext.

“The journey has been really good and I have put in a lot of hard work. I started playing for Haryana in U14 and have played in all the age groups for the state. It’s been a great learning experience,” he added.
