Virat Kohli-led Team India defeated Afghanistan by 66 runs to secure their first win of the tournament.
India captain Virat Kohli was in a good mood during their clash against Afghanistan on Wednesday (November 3), which Team India dominated till the end and won by 66 runs. It was India's first win in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 tournament after losing two matches earlier.
A video of Kohli is going viral on social media in which he can be seen dancing near the boundary rope at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. As soon as Kohli did a step on the song 'My Name is Lakhan', the crowd started cheering for him.
It may have been just for a few seconds, but the moment was enough to get circulated on social media. This isn't the first time Kohli was seen dancing during a match. He was spotted showing off his dance moves in T20 World Cup 2016 as well, on the song 'Gallan Goodiyan'.
Here is the video:
Kohli didn't come out to bat against Afghanistan and promoted Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya, the two power hitters, ahead of him to utilize the start provided by openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma. Rahul and Rohit had posted 140 runs for the first wicket before Pant and Hardik provided a good finish.
India’s batting unit posted the tournament’s highest total of 210/2 and restricted Afghanistan to 144/7 in their 20 overs.
