In a delightful display of high spirits, Indian stalwart, Virat Kohli once again captured the hearts of fans around the world with his impromptu dance moves on the field as he so often does.

IND vs SL: Kohli's spontaneous dance stole the show

Amidst the high-stakes intensity of Match 33 at the World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium, Kohli was spotted grooving to the rhythm of a Bollywood classic, bringing a light-hearted moment to the serious business of international cricket.

The spontaneous jig saw Kohli channeling the iconic Bollywood character Lakhan from the 1989 film "Ram Lakhan," as he danced to the tune of "My Name Is Lakhan." The footage of his dance swiftly spiralled into a social media sensation, as fans celebrated the Indian batter's infectious energy and joie de vivre.

Kohli's impromptu performance took place while he was positioned in the slips, awaiting the next delivery. The scene was set: the crowd's roar was at its peak, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement. It was then that the cricket field transformed into a stage for Kohli, who is no stranger to wearing his heart on his sleeve.


The dance was not just a moment of entertainment but also proof of the dominant position India established in the game. Chasing a formidable target of 358, Sri Lanka collapsed dramatically to 21 for 6 within 11 overs, largely due to the devastating spells from India's pace battery - Mohammed Shami with a 5-wicket haul, Mohammed Siraj with 3 wickets and Jasprit Bumrah with a solitary one.

Meanwhile, earlier, it was the Indian batsmen who laid the groundwork for the massive total. Young talent Shubman Gill played a mature inning, falling just short of a well-deserved century with a stylish 92. Kohli, true to his reputation, contributed a solid 88. Shreyas Iyer’s whirlwind 82 further bolstered India's total, setting a huge score of 357 for 8.
