[Saba Sports News] Virat Kohli never fails to entertain on the field, whether with his batting or his lively demeanor. In the second ODI against Sri Lanka, Kohli, stationed at cover, caught Sadeera Samarawickrama for 14, leaving Sri Lanka at 111/4 in the 27th over.
After making the catch, Kohli celebrated with a brief Bihu dance, a traditional folk dance from Assam, seemingly directed towards his Assam-born teammate Riyan Parag, who was in the dugout. Kohli then approached Axar Patel, who had secured his first dismissal of the day.
Earlier in the match, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. Mohammed Siraj struck on the first ball, dismissing Pathum Nissanka for a golden duck. A 74-run partnership between Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis offered some stability, but both were soon dismissed by Washington Sundar.
Riyan Parag, a talented all-rounder from Guwahati, debuted against Zimbabwe in the T20I series in July. He gained prominence during the T20I series against Sri Lanka, particularly for his effective bowling on Kandy’s turning tracks, where he took three wickets for 62 runs in 9.2 overs.
