Virat Kohli, renowned as much for his batting genius as for his spirited personality, added a touch of entertainment during the third and final Test between India and New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Known for lighting up any atmosphere with his energy, Kohli couldn’t resist showing off some iconic Bollywood dance moves when the crowd began singing the classic “My Name is Lakhan.” Positioned at the slip cordon, Kohli responded with the song’s famous hook step, leaving the crowd thrilled.
His dance became an instant highlight, showcasing his playful side and his connection with fans who often look to him not just as a cricketer but as an entertainer. While Kohli’s impromptu moves brought joy to spectators, his batting form remains a point of intense scrutiny. The 35-year-old star has faced a challenging season in Test cricket, with scores that have not lived up to his own high standards.

Notably, his struggle was evident in the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, where left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner dismissed him cheaply in both innings, with scores of 1 and 17.
