Former India captain Virat Kohli may have had a tough day with the bat during the Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka, scoring just 3 runs. However, his on-field charisma and camaraderie were on full display as he was spotted shaking a leg on ‘Lungi Dance’ song during India’s bowling innings at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Despite Kohli’s low score, India managed to post a total of 213, thanks in part to the stellar performance of young Sri Lankan spinner Dunith Wellalage, who claimed an impressive 5 wickets for 40 runs in his 10 overs. In response, Sri Lanka’s innings faltered, and they were eventually bowled out for 172, securing India’s victory by a margin of 41 runs. This win earned India a spot in the Asia Cup 2023 Final, scheduled for September 17.

Virat Kohli’s recent form with the bat has been nothing short of sensational, with the former captain notching up 5 international centuries in ODI cricket in the past year. Remarkably, this achievement puts him on par with Indian opener Shubman Gill in terms of centuries scored.
In a standout performance on Monday, Kohli scored his 47th international century in ODI cricket, amassing an unbeaten 122 runs against arch-rivals Pakistan in another Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2023.
Furthermore, on Tuesday, Kohli and his fellow opener, Rohit Sharma, achieved a significant milestone by becoming the fastest pair to reach a total of 5,000 runs in ODI cricket. This remarkable feat was accomplished during India’s Super Four Asia Cup clash against Sri Lanka, further solidifying their status as one of the most prolific batting partnerships in the sport.
While Virat Kohli may have faced a minor setback in the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka, his overall performance and the achievements of the Indian cricket team in the Asia Cup 2023 have been commendable. With the Asia Cup Final on the horizon, cricket fans can look forward to more exciting moments from Kohli and the Indian team.
