Watch: Virat Kohli hilariously mimics Yashasvi Jaiswal’s walking style during Mumbai Test

Team India stalwart Virat Kohli mimicked his teammate's walking style on the field during Day 1 of the third and final Test match against New Zealand. Virat Kohli imitated young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal during the ongoing match, and the video clip has gathered attention on social media platforms.

New Zealand skipper Tom Latham opted to bat first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, November 1. The Indian contingent started by dismissing Devon Conway earlier in the day. Akash Deep and Washington Sundar did the job in the first session on Day 1 by picking up three crucial wickets.

Will Young and Daryl Mitchell added 87 runs for the fourth wicket to rescue the team in the first innings. However, Ravindra Jadeja brought India into the game by dismissing Will Young, who scored 71 runs. Jadeja then removed Tom Blundell (0) and Glenn Phillips (17) before the Tea break on Day 1.

Virat Kohli has managed just 88 runs in four innings during the series against New Zealand, including only one half-century. He aims to play a big knock in the first innings of the Mumbai Test match to help his team secure a consolation victory in the three-match series.

The 35-year-old batter also wants confidence with the bat before the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series in Australia, which is scheduled to begin on November 22 in Perth.

Sunil Gavaskar Chucked The Plate On The Wall - Ravi Shastri

By the mid of the second session, bowlers Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Akash Deep collectively bowled eight no-balls, with Sundar bowling for five of them. After the lunch break, Sundar overstepped again, prompting Ravi Shastri to humorously remark about legendary Sunil Gavaskar.

Ravi Shastri said that Gavaskar might have thrown his lunch plate against the wall. Shastri added that it was fortunate Gavaskar wasn’t fielding in the slips, noting that Sundar’s no-balls could have led to more trouble.

“Sunil Gavaskar was having lunch. He chucked the plate on the wall," Shastri said before adding, “Thank god he’s (Gavaskar) not fielding in the slip. Washington would have been close to Washington DC."
