Watch: Virat Kohli Stretches On Field While Others Wear Masks To Keep Pollution At Bay
Is there anything in this world that can cause Virat Kohli any sort of problem on a cricket field? While it is more or less certain that Sri Lankan bowlers are not giving the India skipper any testing time in the ongoing Test in Delhi, even the polluted air of the national capital seems to have bowed down in front of the 29-year old.
An alarming sight was witnessed at Feroz Shah Kotla after lunch on second day when the Sri Lankan players came out to field with their masks on to combat the polluted air of the national capital. In fact, the situation was so serious that for a while it looked like the visitors had made up their minds on not continuing. The Sri Lankan physio as well as captain Dinesh Chandimal were seen talking with the umpires. Sri Lanka’s fast-bowler Lahiru Gamage was finding it tough to remain on the field.
But amidst all this, a loud cheer was heard and the reason behind it was none other than Kohli. At a time when other players were finding it tough even to stay on the field, Kohli was seen making the most of the break as he lied on the ground to do a few stretches. It was a remarkable sight as the India skipper had already scored his double century and was batting without any mask.

Meanwhile, India were 519 for 6 when the incident happened. Kohli was batting on 240 while Ravichandran Ashwin was giving him company on 4.
