During the third day of the first Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Adelaide, India captain Virat Kohli was seen putting on display a different art form for his plethora of fans.

The 30-year old cricketer showcased his dance moves while fielding in the slips on the morning of Day 3. With rain playing a spoilsport in the first session of the day, Kohli gave the impression of finding an alternate option to entertain the crowd.

With Australia resuming Day 3 on 191-7, the Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami made sure that the hosts do not secure a lead. Having bowled out Australia on 235 in 98.4 overs, India became successful in earning a slender 15-run lead.

Australia middle order batsman Travis Head, who was unbeaten yesterday, ended up top-scoring for his team. Playing his first Test on his home ground, he scored 72 (167) with the help of six fours. With bowling figures of 24-9-47-3, India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of their bowlers.

In which is perhaps a time that could decide the fate of the match, Indian batsmen would be looking to not repeat their mistake from the first innings. While it will not be easy, the visitors would be hoping for total nearing 300 for it will increase their chances of winning the first Test.

On the other hand, Australia won’t fail to realize that the larger the target, the more difficult it will be for them to chase. India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is highly likely to hold the key for India in the fourth innings.
