Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his Delhi teammate Shikhar Dhawan have always been known to be one of the closest friends in the Indian dressing. Both o the two seemed to be in a jovial mood as they entered the ground in style, entertaining the fans with bhangra on Day 3 of the warm-up tie against Essex.

The players were welcomed onto the field in typical Punjabi style, to the sound of Dhol. Capturing the moment, Essex posted the video on Twitter, saying, “Two @BCCI players have enjoyed their time at Chelmsford! Well played, @imVkohli & @SDhawan25! 👏👏👏 #ESSvIND”.
