IND vs SA: Kohli emulates Lord Ram when DJ plays ‘Ram Siya Ram’ song | Watch

With the Indian cricket team dominating in the second Test against South Africa, bowling out the Proteas for a mere 55 runs in the first innings, a surprising event took place in between the innings when Virat Kohli did lord Ram’s action.

After picking up the wicket of Marco Jansen in the 15.5 over, Mohammed Siraj finished with six wickets to his name in the first innings.

Following Marco Jansen’s dismissal, as soon as Keshav Maharaj took the guards at the crease, the DJ played ‘Ram Siya Ram’, and former Indian captain Virat Kohli – standing in slips – gestured to Mohammed Siraj and did the Lord Ram arrow gesture.

Here’s the video:

Commenting on this, one netizens wrote, “Best captain but luck doesn’t favour towards kholi 🥺🥺 he is absolutely GOAT.”

While another said, “He is the pure entertainer and now a days we are also seeing his spiritual side.”

Rathin Dutta wrote, “You need a character in Test Cricket. Virat has it and hence his legacy.”

Someone commented, “So he asked to bowl some ball to a left hander and a right handed batsman gets out after some time. Wow, hatsoff to editing.”

Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj derailed South Africa’s top order with a 6-wicket haul and made it very easy for Jasprit Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar to wrap the South African batters on the score of 55.

India’s first innings:

Trailing by 55 runs, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal to South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada, but Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are on crease. Currently, India have scored 71/1 in 14 overs, with Sharma unbeaten at 39 and Gill at 18.
