Virat Kohli was known as an aggressive captain and remains aggressive as a player on the field, but off the field, he is a completely opposite person, as described by many of his teammates and seen through many of his videos. On Saturday, he managed to entertain not just the fans, but also his teammates, but imitating Jasprit Bumrah's bowling action during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 2nd Test, Day 2

Kohli remained the cynosure in the Day-Night Test between India and Sri Lanka as international cricket returned to M Chinnaswamy stadium after a gap of more than two years.

Kohli, who has been part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise in Indian Premier League (IPL) and had led the team between 2014 and 2021, and his return to his adopted home ground remained the talking point in the build up to India's third pink ball Test at home.

However, Kohli was undone by the uneven bounce as he was dismissed for just 23, stretching his century drought to 72 innings. He last scored an international ton in November 2019 in Kolkata in India's first pink ball Test.

India did not get a decent start after opting to bat first in the second Test but an extraordinary 92 helped India bounce back in style to post a total of 252 runs.

The Indian pacers then picked five wickets between themselves as Sri Lanka were reduced to 86 for 6 in the final session where 30 overs were bowled. Jasprit Bumrah picked three wickets while Mohammed Shami picked two and spinner Axar Patel picked the remaining as Sri Lanka trail by 166 runs in the second Test.
