Virat Kohli, the former Indian captain and renowned batting maestro, is not only known for his cricketing prowess but also for his on-field antics. In the 3rd ODI against Australia, he provided fans with a humorous moment that left everyone in splits. During a drinks break on the field, Kohli was spotted doing a comical dance routine in front of the Australian batsman, Marnus Labuschagne.
The same match also witnessed Steve Smith receiving what could only be described as royal treatment from his teammates. With the temperature soaring to 33°C, Smith was seen using a chair, towel, and ice pack on the ground to combat the heat. Indian fans couldn't help but notice this special attention and social media quickly filled with memes.
As for the match itself, the first innings concluded with the visitors posting a formidable total of 352/7 in their allotted 50 overs. While David Warner reached his half-century, he struggled with the heat and eventually fell victim to Prasidh Krishna's bowling.
Shortly thereafter, Mitchell Marsh was joined by Smith, and together they formed a crucial partnership. However, both players seemed to be affected by the scorching conditions in Rajkot, with drinks being brought onto the field almost every over.
Just before reaching his century, Marsh was dismissed, and Mohammed Siraj later claimed Smith's wicket. Nevertheless, Marnus Labuschagne continued to hold the innings together, even as wickets fell at the other end, demonstrating his resilience in the challenging conditions.
