India's ex-captain, Virat Kohli's leadership was on full display in the on-going India and Australia fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. His quick thinking and excellent understanding of the game, helped him guide Mohammad Siraj and eventually take the big wicket of Steve Smith.

Mohammed Siraj's helped India get a crucial blow by dismissing Steve Smith for Australia’s third wicket. In the 33rd over, he bowled a full and wide outside off delivery, offering Smith some width. Smith, eager to attack, threw his bat at the ball, attempting a big shot. 

However, he only managed to edge it, sending a thick outside edge through to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who took a straightforward catch. Siraj celebrated the wicket with visible emotion, knowing the significance of removing the dangerous Smith.

But it was actually Virat Kohl, who nudged him and insisted that Smith loves the corner of the wicket and urged Siraj to throw every ball wide off the crease as in the video, Kohli is heard saying, 'Kone se', 'Kone se', Usko Pasand Hai Kone Se'.

Australia in a Tight Spot as India Fight Back

After lunch on day 2 of the Boxing Day Test, Australia seemed to be in control, with Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne resisting India's attack. However, Mohammed Siraj broke through with the big wicket of Smith, and Jasprit Bumrah took over. Bumrah struck immediately, removing Travis Head with his first ball, before adding two more quick wickets, reducing Australia to 91/6. Despite a dropped catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Labuschagne (70) and Pat Cummins (28) have steadied the ship, taking Australia to 148/6.
