Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli never fails to entertain his fans and followers with his actions both on and off the field. The 34-year-old happened to do the same on the second day of the ongoing second of two-match Test series at the Sher-E-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. The incident happened in the final hour of the second day during the sixth over of the Bangladesh innings.
Bangladesh batters were wasting their time amidst the bad condition of the lights which happened to frustrate the former Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. In the same line of tactics, Bangla skipper Najmul Hasan Shanto was tying the shoelaces on at the non-striker’s end.
Subsequently, Virat gestured for the hosts' batter to put off his shirt and said "Kapde Bhi utaar de.” This gesture from the 34-year-old also left the commentators in splits. Meanwhile, the video of the incident has gone viral over social media within minutes of being shared.
Here’s the video of the incident:
