IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli urges fans to shout for India instead of RCB in Delhi, video goes viral

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is never shy of expressing himself on the pitch and the batting ace was seen in a similar mood during the recently concluded second Test against Australia in Delhi. The local boy heard the crowd chanting the name of his IPL franchise, RCB. But the batting ace pointed to his India jersey and urged them to stop chanting RCB's name and shout for India instead.

There is never a dull moment with Virat Kohli on the ground and it was the same during India's second Test against Australia in Delhi. The former Indian skipper, who is a crowd favourite at most of the Indian venues, was in full flow in front of his home crowd. This video of his crowd interaction during the second Test is doing the rounds on social media platforms.

The incident took place when Kohli was stationed at the slips during the Australian innings on the Day 3 of the second Test. The viral video from the match shows the run-machine urging the fans to change their chants of 'RCB-RCB'. Following his intervention, the fans started chanting ‘India-India’, which was acknowledged by the former Indian skipper as he encouraged the fans to chant even louder.

Kohli was looking in ominous touch during India's first innings before succumbing to a controversial LBW call. He played a brisk cameo in the second innings as India chased a modest total on the third day of the Delhi Test to retain the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy for a fourth consecutive time. 

The batting superstar was stumped in the second innings, the very first time in his Test career. The batting ace will be seen in action during India's third Test in Indore, commencing from March 1, which was earlier scheduled to be held in Dharamshala.
