It’s never a dull moment when Virat Kohli is on the field. He is a livewire whose spirited antics and passion keep the atmosphere energetic. He also never misses a chance to interact with the fans. Similar scenes unfolded on Friday when Team India locked horns with New Zealand in the third Test of the three-match series.
While Kohli was fielding at slips, the fans began singing the popular Bollywood song “My Name is Lakhan,” famously associated with Kohli’s dance moves. As the fans’ voices reverberated through the stadium, Kohli broke into the hook step of the iconic dance.
In another video, the former Indian skipper could be seen joining his hands, probably gesturing to the fans to spare him.
As Virat Kohli arrives in Mumbai to play a Test match after three years, all eyes will be on him given in his recent form. The ace Indian batter hasn’t been at his fluent best in the ongoing series. In four innings so far, Kohli scored 0, 70, 1 and 17.
Meanwhile, Washington Sundar stymied New Zealand’s progress with two vital strikes whereas Ravindra Jadeja struck thrice to help India reduce New Zealand to 192 for six at tea on the opening day of the third Test at Wankhede Stadium.
Earlier in the day, pacer Akash Deep (1/22 in five overs) struck early to dismiss opener Devon Conway for just 4 after New Zealand chose to bat. Young off-spinner Washington Sundar (2/50 in 13 overs) added to India’s early breakthroughs, claiming two key wickets in the first session to put New Zealand on the back foot.
Daryl Mitchell, however, stood firm amid the fall of wickets with a hard-fought 53 not out as he held New Zealand’s innings together.
New Zealand lead the series 2-0 in the three-match series.
