Former Indian skipper and batting superstar, Virat Kohli is also known for his on-field banters apart from his cricketing excellence. He happened to a similar antic in the ongoing fourth and last of the four-match Test series against Australia in Ahmedabad. The incident happened when the Aussie batter Travis Head was saved due to the umpire’s call in a DRS decision.

Meanwhile, Kohli couldn’t resist taking a hilarious dig at the on-field umpire Nitin Menon. He went on to say to Menon, “Main hota to out de deta (If it would’ve been me, you would have given out”.

The video of this funny banter between Nitin Menon and Virat Kohli is now making rounds on social media within minutes if being shared by a Twitter user.

Here’s the video:

Talking about Virat Kohli’s performance against Australia in this ongoing Ahmedabad Test; he smashed a brilliant and historical century of 186 runs off 364 balls with 15 boundaries to his name. Notably, it was the 28th Test century and overall the 75th international century. He is only the second batter to score most international centuries, just after former legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar.

Ricky Ponting follows Kohli in the list of batters with the highest number of international centuries.

Next time, Virat Kohli will be in action with Team India in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. The men in blue will lock horns with the visitors in the first ODI at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, the 17th of March later this week.
