Bengaluru: Virat Kohli is a true entertainer of the game and no cricketer drives the crowd inside the stadium like he does. In the 2nd Day/Night Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday at Bengalauru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, the former RCB captain did what he does best.
India were playing at Bengaluru’s home den and Sri Lanka were batting at that time. The Bengaluru fans who have witnessed many innings of the duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli tear apart opposition at this very ground in the IPL, kept on chanting the former South African cricketer’s name. Kohli was fielding at slip and got to hear the chants and responded it by mimicking his former teammates’ one of his signature attacking shots. The fans loved the way how King Kohli embraced the situation.
