Indian captain Virat Kohli was seen imitating Australian batsman Steve Smith’s mannerisms during the net sessions ahead of the third Test against the England team at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad.

Steve Smith is known for his exaggerated actions while leaving the balls outside off-stump and signaling for a run. It was amusing to see Smith flailing his arms and bat in order to signal the non-striker not to go for a run.
