Watch: Virat Kohli brings gully cricket to T20 World Cup 2024 with comical ball-searching act

India batter Virat Kohli was at his hilarious best in the game against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024. The game between the two teams, which was also a Super 8 fixture of the tournament, took place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua and Barbuda

Virat Kohli was energetic in the field and his intensity was for everyone to see. However, he came up with a hilarious moment in the field and that left many in splits. The incident took place in the 18th over of Bangladesh’s innings when Axar Patel was bowling.

Axar Patel bowled a tossed-up delivery that was full. Rishad Hossain got forward and lofted it clean. The ball went sailing over the long-on and under the desk that was outside the boundary rope. Virat Kohli, who was stationed there, went on for a search.

Virat Kohli went under the desk like a kid and as he found the ball and came back, he came up with a funny reaction. The video of the incident went viral on the internet within minutes and invited many hilarious reactions from the fans.

Here’s the video:
