After his career is done, if Virat Kohli decides to partner his wife Anushka Sharma in a Bollywood movie, clearly he would run as the better of the duo. The Indian skipper pulled off terrific expressions today when he saw DRS replay on which the ball missed the stumps almost by three inches.

Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the day for India with a figure of 6/33 to give India a massive 292-run first innings lead. However, nothing was hunky-dory for the Indian skipper as he had to be alert throughout and made sure that the plan was executed to perfection. However, after the second delivery on the 62nd over, he suddenly lost the faith in everything when he saw the replay on the big screen after Mohammed Shami forced him to go for the review.

Shami bowled a full ball which moved inwards and seemed to have taken an inside edge on the first viewing. However, Shami was convinced that there was no inside edge and appealed for an LBW dismissal and even convinced Kohli to go for the review and knowing that Paine was the lone man standing as far as a "proper batsman" is concerned. On Shami's constant insistence, the Indian skipper agreed for the same.

The replays also agreed with Shami to an extent as there was no bat involved and the two sounds were the ball hitting the front and thigh pad. While that kept Kohli interested, Ball Tracking showed that the ball bounced almost three to four inches over the stumps. India lost the review and Kohli, who had a history of DRS mess-ups, pulled up a face of irritation and even spread his arms to show his frustration at his bowler.
