Indian captain Virat Kohli is cut out of a cloth that he simply cannot do anything but give his 100 per cent. We’ve seen him do that with the bat and on the field as well, not as much with his bowling. He seldom rolls out his wrong-footed medium pacers but he did in the warm-up fixture against Cricket Australia XI ahead of the Test series.

He bowled 7 overs in the innings where India used as many as 10 bowlers. CA XI made Team India toil on the field batting for 151.1 overs, they posted 544 runs on the board and though the numbers didn’t matter the intention of the visitors was to give all the players enough game time. Kohli during his spell also managed to scalp a wicket.

It was his sixth over when centurion Harry Nielsen wanted to punish a half-tracker. He tried to hit it a bit too hard and the ball gained a lot of altitude but not as much distance. It travelled as far as mid-on where Umesh Yadav was waiting to grab it.

Just as the ball went up in the air, Kohli knew it was flying straight to the fielder. He had his hand on the mouth trying to hold back his laughter. Umesh made no mistake and Nielsen was on his way back. They both patted each other and Kohli was still laughing.

He also celebrate the success in a very ecstatic manner. The Indian team fielded all the players in the squad and thus the game didn’t get FC status hence his wicket will not be registered in the books. But doesn’t matter to Kohli, he got his team a wicket and that was enough reason for him to celebrate.

In his professional Kohli last dismissed Windies batsman Johnson Charles. He has 3 first-class wickets and 4 in List A matches.
