Virat Kohli, who is leading Team India in his final assignment as captain in the shorter format, displayed some great leadership qualities in the warm-up fixture against Australia at the ongoing T20 World Cup.
The incident involved rookie spinner Rahul Chahar, who drew inspiration from Kohli and delivered the team with a crucial breakthrough.
The incident took place in the 12th over of the Australia innings, who opted to bat first after winning the toss.
Chahar, who was coming to bowl his third over, was welcomed with an audacious sweep by in-form all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, with the ball sailing towards the backward point region for a boundary.
Soon after getting whacked by the Australian, Kohli was seen having a chat with the bowler, following which, Chahar delivered three consecutive dots and then cleaned the all-rounder’s stump to break the dangerous partnership between Maxwell and Steve Smith.
Maxwell was dismissed on 37 off 28 balls, and during his stay in the middle he also stitched a crucial 61-run partnership with Smith.
ICC shared a video of the sequence of events on Instagram and wrote: ‘There’s a lot to appreciate in this passage of play.’
