In the ongoing second Test in Perth, Virat Kohli made an offensive gesture towards the crowd on day three. The incident happened just after the departure of Shaun Marsh. Meanwhile, Australia managed to gain a lead of 43 runs in the first innings, as India got wrapped up for 283.
Moreover, after a delightful spell, Aaron Finch hurt his finger being hit by a short one from Mohammad Shami soon after his opening partner Marcus Harris was bowled by Indian National Cricket Team pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Each wicket led to a sparkling celebration from the Indian side as they were pumped up to shift the momentum of the game in their favour. It is the third day of the Test, and these sessions will be the deciding factor in the outcome of the game.
Kohli’s celebration after Shaun Marsh’s dismissal
The previous delivery was out of the target and Marsh wanted to pull the short-pitched delivery. But the ball rears up a touch and takes an edge which Rishabh Pant safely gobbled it. However, it had lifted the spirits in the Indian camp because the heads had started to drop. Virat Kohli enjoyed the celebration in his way. After Shami finally got Marsh who was dropped once, the Indian skipper couldn’t hold himself back. Having already scored a century earlier today, Kohli pulled off a different kind of celebration.

Furthermore, Indian lower order couldn’t add much on day three. From being comfortably placed at 223/4 and looking good for a first innings lead they were bowled out for 283. Rishabh Pant continued to bat in his style, and they could only manage to score 283 runs in the first essay. Nathan Lyon was the pick of the bowler who added another five-wicket haul.
