A delightful glimpse into Virat Kohli’s off-field persona has surfaced online, capturing the cricket icon in a playful moment before a team huddle during India’s recent series against Sri Lanka. In the video, Kohli can be seen rushing down the stairs and breaking into an impromptu dance to the beat of drumrolls, his infectious energy radiating through the screen. The video quickly went viral, with fans across social media sharing and commenting on Kohli’s charisma, reminding everyone why he remains one of the most beloved figures in Indian cricket.
Kohli’s playful side serves as a stark contrast to the fierce competitor he is on the field. His recent triumph leading India to victory in the ICC T20 World Cup, their first win since 2007, is a testament to his leadership and skill. However, shortly after this victory, Kohli announced his retirement from T20Is, choosing to step down from the format at the peak of his career. Following a well-deserved holiday in London, Kohli rejoined the Indian squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka.
Unfortunately, the series didn’t go as planned for India, as they struggled against Sri Lanka’s spin attack, particularly against the impressive Dunith Wellalage. Kohli himself had a subdued performance, scoring just 58 runs across three innings. India ultimately lost the series 2-0, marking Sri Lanka’s first bilateral ODI series victory over India since 1997.
Despite this setback, Kohli remains a key figure in the Indian lineup. He is expected to return for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, scheduled to begin on September 19th. Fans eagerly await his return, hoping he can recapture his usual dominance and contribute to India’s success in the longer format of the game.
