Virat Kohli’s light-hearted dig at Muhammad Rizwan
Rizwan’s slow approach to batting seemed to prompt Kohli to humorously mimic checking his imaginary wristwatch as a light-hearted dig at the extended time taken by Rizwan to prepare between deliveries.
Kohli’s playful gesture captured the attention of both the Ahmedabad crowd and viewers worldwide, adding an element of amusement to the intense cricketing battle between the arch-rivals. Additionally, the Indian team captain Rohit Sharma was seen engaging in discussions with the on-field umpires, presumably addressing the situation involving Rizwan’s slow play.
Here’s the video:
Fans too shared their views on Kohli’s hilarious act.
