India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli has been lighting up the stage with his antics in the ongoing first Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. The game between the two teams commenced on Thursday (19th September) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Virat Kohli so far didn't have a great outing with the bat as he bagged a low score in the first innings. But he didn't allow this to take a toll on his mood and fielding. The right-hander has been giving his best for the team in the field and is keeping the intensity high.

Kohli also is making sure that he keep the things light on the field. The right-hander has been seen joking around with his teammates. He was seen having light conversations with fielders around him as he was standing in the slip cordon.

Virat Kohli also entertained the crowd at the Chepauk stadium. The batter was seen shaking his leg on tunes that were going on in the stadium. In the video that has gone viral on the internet, the right-hander was seen dancing in a team huddle after the wicket of Shakib Al Hasan.

Here's the video:

The dance that he displayed was more of a celebration of Shakib's wicket. The Bangladesh all-rounder was keeping his team in the hunt, but he made an error that resulted in his wicket, especially after that start that he had with the bat.

Shakib Al Hasan tried to reverse sweep a delivery by Ravindra Jadeja. However, the ball caught the edge of the bat and went straight to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant's hands. India appealed for it, and the umpires went for a review, which showed that the ball had hit the shoe of Shakib and did not touch the ground. Hence, it was given out.

When the decision of the third umpire was confirmed on the big screen, the team erupted in joy as they got the big wicket. Virat Kohli was seen dancing in celebration.

Virat Kohli was terrific in the field as he picked two great catches in the slip to remove Najmul Hossain Shanto and Hasan Mahmud. India was spot on with their bowling and fielding on Day 2 as they took command of the game early on.

After India got all out for 376 runs, bowlers came up with a sensational effort with Jasprit Bumrah being the pick of the lot. The fast bowler drew the first blood for his team, and after that, he didn't look back as he ended up picking the four-wicket haul on the Chennai track, where spinners get more help.

Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj picked two wickets each as India bundled out Bangladesh for 149 runs. The hosts took a healthy lead of 227 runs and decided to bat again. Virat Kohli will be key for his team in the second innings and would be hoping to get some runs under his belt.
