The second test match between India and Sri Lanka is at an interesting position as first the Sri Lankan team bowled out the Indian team for just 252 runs but then the batters of the visiting team also found it difficult to stay on the crease and by the end of the day 1, Sri Lanka was 86/6.
Though Virat Kohli once again failed to end his century drought, he did entertain cricket fans with his humorous behavior. The former cricketer may have got slammed many times because of his aggressive attitude but it is also true that he is a very fun loving cricketer. During the Sri Lankan innings, Virat Kohli was seen copying the bowling action of the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
Here is the video of the hilarious act:
