Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli delighted the crowd during Day 3 of the first Test match against West Indies in Dominica by showcasing his dance moves on the field.
This is not the first time Kohli has entertained viewers and fans with his impromptu dance performances during matches.
India currently holds a commanding position in the Test, having declared their first innings at 421/5, securing a substantial lead of 271 runs. Kohli played a solid innings, scoring a fine half-century in the first session.
However, he was dismissed for 76 soon after the lunch break, much to the disappointment of his supporters. West Indies bowler Rahkeem Cornwall ended Kohli’s watchful stay at the crease with an impressive delivery.
Following Kohli’s dismissal, Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin quickly triggered a top-order collapse for West Indies, further denting their chances in the contest.
Despite the intense on-field action, Kohli made sure to keep the spirits high by entertaining his teammates and the crowd with some fun dance moves in between.
