Watch: Virat Kohli's Hilarious Banter With Marnus Labuschagne Leaves Internet In Splits
Virat Kohli's banter with Marnus Labuschagne during the third ODI match between India and Australia left the Australian batter in splits.
It was a tough challenge for cricketers in Rajkot as the heat caused them a lot of discomfort during the third ODI match between India and Australia on Wednesday. Steve Smith was affected by the conditions during the 29th over of the match and during the drinks break, he even asked for a chair and ice packs to find some relief. During the break in play, Virat Kohli could be seen breaking into a small dance in front of the Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne who was left in splits.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat against India.
India skipper Rohit Sharma was back along with Virat Kohli and Kuldeep Yadav after they were rested for the first two matches of the series.
