Virat Kohli and Shakib Al Hasan, two cricketing giants, engaged in a hilarious exchange during the ongoing India vs Bangladesh Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While Kohli struggled with the bat, scoring low scores in both innings, he managed to entertain the crowd with his animated antics on the field.
Virat Kohli and Shakib Al Hasan’s Lighthearted JokingÂ
At a hilarious occasion in the present Test match between Bangladesh and India at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, Virat Kohli displayed his signature sense of humor by calling Shakib Al Hasan “Malinga.” As Shakib was bowling, Kohli was at the non-striker’s end of the conversation. It was a playful interaction that soon went viral, showing the friendship between the two famous cricket players.
The incident started when Kohli sought to lighten the mood after failing to score many runs with the bat (only six in the first innings and 17 in the second). His humorous remark, captured on the stump mic, was, “Tu Malinga bana hua hai.” “You’re like Malinga, bowling yorker after yorker,” goes the saying, “Yorker pe yorker de raha hai.” This lighthearted quip not only had Shakib laughing, but it also delighted onlookers and pundits, demonstrating Kohli’s capacity to stay upbeat in the face of personal setbacks on the field.
Kohli’s Dancing Steps Boost the Joy
The joke wasn’t the end of the fun. Kohli won over more fans with his enthusiastic celebration following Shakib Al Hasan’s dismissal. To the pleasure of onlookers at Chepauk, Kohli was spotted dancing merrily after a successful review that validated Shakib’s dismissal off a delivery from Ravindra Jadeja. Fans cheered him on for his bhangra-inspired dance routines, which turned a tense cricket match into a joyous celebration.
In addition to offering humorous relief during this game, Kohli’s antics have demonstrated his leadership abilities. Even though he hasn’t been hitting well, he has lifted the emotions of his teammates and promoted camaraderie on the field. Moments like this serve as a reminder to cricket fans of the lighter side of the sport, where comedy and friendship can flourish even in competitive environments, as India continues its campaign against Bangladesh.
