Watch: Virat Kohli Pumped Up As Mohammad Shami Frustrates Sri Lanka With His Batting

No matter whether he is on the field or off it, Virat Kohli never shies away from showing his emotion. The India skipper is talked about for his attitude as much as his exceptional exploits with the bat on the cricket field.

Well, one such sight was recently witnessed during the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens. With the pitch offering ample pace and bounce even the likes of Kohli and Dhawan could not make much of an impact. However, when Mohammed Shami came out to bat, he did not bother about the conditions and all as he threw his bat at almost everything that was on offer.

The Bengal fast-bowler scored 24 off 22 with the help of three fours as balls blew from all the corners of his bat. However, one of his shots was a very-well timed pull shot and skipper Kohli could not stop himself from refraining his excitement while sitting in the dressing room.

Here is a clip of the incident:

 

Meanwhile, Shami’s crucial knock helped India to post a respectable 172 after they were reduced to 79 for 6. Cheteshwar Pujara top-scored for the hosts with 52 while Wriddhiman Saha and Ravindra Jadeja also played handy knocks.

In reply, the Islanders, led by Lahiru Thirimanne and Angelo Mathews’ fifties,  finished the third day on a commanding 165 for 4.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav picked up two wickets each.

An avid cricket lover, I just love this game more than anything. Writing about cricket keeps me closer to the game.
