Virat Kohli celebrated Dickwella’s wicket with a dance
Known for his ultra-aggression, team India captain Virat Kohli does not hold back when it comes to celebrating the fall of opposition wickets. Be it the dismissal of a main batsman or a tailender, Kohli enjoys the moment with the same enthusiasm every time. He gets pumped up and shows his fiery side when a opposition wicket falls.
However, it surprised one and all, when he opted for a rather unique celebration when Ravindra Jadeja got the better of Niroshan Dickwella. In the 61st over of Sri Lanka’s first innings, the left-hander miscued his hit over long on and was caught by Ishant Sharma at mid on. As Team India picked up the fifth Lankan wicket, there was no fist pump or aggressive gestures from Kohli. Instead, he broke into a little Bhangra gig and started to dance.
Kohli and Dickwella were involved in a heated incident in the 1st Test. The Indians were pushing for an unlikely win in the final session on Day 5. However, the visitors pulled out all the stops to try and derail India’s charge.
One such instance occurred when Dickwella took the cue from some footballers and tried the dark art of time-wasting. Kohli and pacer Mohammed Shami, clearly annoyed by his antics, blasted Dickwella. Kohli was visibly furious and was seen angrily gesticulating at the umpires.
