'Never too late' - Virat Kohli sets social media ablaze as he aces ‘Mundiyan’ trend

Former India captain and star batter Virat Kohli has taken some time off cricket after the England tour, as he is rested for the upcoming tour of West Indies. And it looks like he is making the best use of his break, as he posted a video clip of him performing the trending dance to Punjabi beats.

Kohli danced to the song ‘Mundiyan’ from the Bollywood movie ‘Baaghi 2’,which featured actors Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani. Although the Indian star athlete was a bit latte cash on the trend, he aced the hook steps of the dance and left social media and his fans awestruck.

Kohli posted the short video clip on Instagram with the caption, “Been pending for a long time, but it’s never too late I guess.”

Celebrities such as Varun Dhawan, Rahul Narain Kanal and Pitush Bhagat validated Kohli’s attempt to perform the trending dance in the comment section. “Mundaaaa,” wrote Dhawan, while Kanal commented with a fire emoji. 

“Next time please do call me I would love set it up for you. lets break a leg together,” wrote choreographer and dancer Bhagath.

Kohli, one of the best cricketers in the history of Indian cricket, is currently going through one of the worst phases in his cricketing career, as he is out of the top ten batter’s rankings in Tests for the first time in many years and is currently having his most unfruitful year with the bat. 

Kohli has been widely subjected to criticism from fans and former players for lack of performance with the bat across formats. Many have opined that he should be dropped from the Indian team, while others believe that it is only a phase for the batter. In 2022, he has scored 493 runs in 20 innings at an average just below 25 across all formats. His previous lowest average in a calendar year was 31.80 in 2008, which was his debut year.
