After coming out the strict IPL 2021 bio-bubble, Virat Kohli took some time off his busy schedule to post a video which soon went viral on social media. The Indian captain imitated India opener Shikhar Dhawan’s batting stance on Monday. Dhawan, who is very active on social media replied with a series of funny emojis in Kohli’s Instagram post.
In the video, the Indian skipper can be seen rolling up the sleeves of his t-shirt and imitating the opener’s batting stance. In fact, Kohli went a step further and showed how the southpaw leaves a delivery outside off-stump.
"He is lost in his space so much that it's very funny. I have seen it many times from the other end," Kohli can be heard saying in the video which has now been shared close to 8,00 0 times on Twitter.

Shikhar Dhawan, who ended up with 587 runs at an average of 39.13 in IPL 2021, is not part of India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2021. India will start their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 24 in Dubai.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, is set to lead India for one final time in the T20Is. The 32-year-old, ahead of the IPL 2021, had announced that he would step down from India's T20I captaincy following the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE and Oman.
