New Delhi: Virat Kohli seems to be a wholesome entertainer- be it his eloquent stroke play or be it his active exchange of greetings 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.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma happened to be a bit shy when it comes to dancing. Naturally, when fellow Indian cricketer Virat Kohli tried to coax the Indian skipper into mimicking the steps, the Mumbaikar showed his displeasure at the entire incident.
Netizens react to Virat Kohli’s peppy steps!!
Here’s how the internet reacted:
