Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya set social media ablaze with viral Instagram trend

India will take on Australia in the upcoming three-match T20I series at home, starting from September 20, Tuesday. India will look to come hard at the visitors following a shock exit in the Asia Cup 2022 earlier in the month. This, along with a home series against South Africa, will be the two T20I series that India would play ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, Indian star players Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya, who are going to be part of the T20I series, put on their dancing shoes and swayed to the viral song ‘Shakaboom’. Pandya posted the video of the duo dancing, wherein they were seen wearing sunglasses and flip-flops and India’s training kit.

Renowned Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan was among people in the comment section, who wrote, ”Epicccccccc.” Singer Zaeden also commented on the post with laugh emojis. It was posted on Sunday on Instagram by Pandya and it garnered over 450,000 likes and six million views.

Meanwhile, big things would be expected of Kohli and Pandya on the field in the coming games, especially with a T20 World Cup around the corner. Kohli had an impressive run in the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and seems to have found his mojo back. 

Prior to the continental tournament, Kohli averaged close to 25 for the year across all three formats and was on over a 1000-day streak without a century in the international circuit. But with 276 runs in five matches, including two fifties and a hundred, he has well and truly made up for the lean patch, and perhaps, is the start of more things to come.

Pandya, on the other hand, has an important role for the Indian team. He is a reliable middle-order batter, an able finisher, and can chip in with the ball by picking up key wickets. He adds depth and balance in all the departments. He has scored 331 runs and bagged 12 wickets in 16 T20Is this year.
