When Virat Kohli is playing well, there aren’t many more beautiful sights to behold than him going about his job. He is a show-stopper whether he is fielding in the inner circle while defending one or pursuing a total under duress.
It makes sense why cameras are drawn to him. Everything about him is amazing to watch: his every shot, the way he dashes between the wickets or flicks his wrists to divert the ball’s trajectory, his pounces on the ball in the field, his celebrations when India takes a wicket. Indeed, Kohli is a box-office performer in the game of cricket.

Kohli star attraction as always
Additionally, the spectators use their smartphones to fill in the gaps left by the hawk-eye gaze of the numerous TV cameras trained on Kohli during a game. These kinds of incidents often occurred during the India vs. Sri Lanka World Cup 2023 match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
Kohli was seen dancing to the tune “My Name is Lakkhan” by the spectators. After yelling, “Kohli ko bowling do (give the ball to Kohli)”, they also forced Kohli to perform shadow bowling. The highlight, though, was how the former captain of India responded to the incessant “Sara, Sara” chanting.
Kohli directs the crowd to start chanting “Shubman Shubman”
Standing at slip cordan, Kohli and Gill were having a busy day as the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami, made it difficult for them to even blink an eye. During the long haul, the crowd got into the game and all sorts of slogans were there to be heard.
Kohli was playing along with the crowd but when the crowd started chanting “Sara Sara” Kohli pointed at Shubman Gill and directed them to start his name. Here’s what transpired on the ground.
About the match, Team India put on a mammoth 357 runs batting first. Shubman Gill (92), Virat Kohli (88), and Shreyas Iyer (82) did the bulk of the scoring. Indian pacers, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Shami completely demolished the Sri Lanka bowling restricting them to a meager 55 runs.
