The incident took place after the end of India’s innings, just before the men in blue took the field for Pakistan’s batting. The rain had arrived and the ground was covered and the players were just waiting at the dugout.

The video of Kohli sharing a laugh with Kuldeep went viral on social media, with many suggesting the 30-year-old was mimicking Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, saying “Amir, ball la”.

Here is how Twitterati reacted:

India continued their winning run against their arch-rivals Pakistan, recording their seventh win in the tournament. The Kohli-led side defeated Pakistan by 89 runs via DLS method.
