India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli walked out to bat early in the ongoing 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka National Cricket Team. The series decider between the teams is taking place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday (7th August).
After India restricted Sri Lanka National Cricket Team to a total of 248 runs, they lost Shubman Gill early for just 6 runs. Virat Kohli for the first time in the series walked out to bat in the powerplay, and the senior batter was off to a shaky start against Asitha Fernando.
On the 5th ball of the 5th over, Asitha Fernando bowled a length ball to which Virat Kohli walked forward and across to put it towards the leg-side. The ball took the leading edge and was about to be caught by the backward point fielder, but the ball went towards the boundary.
On the next ball after that, Virat Kohli defended the length ball outside off. However, what caught the attention of many was the antics of the batter and bowler after that. The India batter and the pacer Asitha Fernando exchanged death stares between them, raising the intensity.
