Srinagar: It has been entertaining Test match going on between England and India, and the one person that is making it more interesting is none other than former Team India skipper Virat Kohli.
Despite not making any valuable contribution with the bat, Virat Kohli has been involved in heated exchange’s with England batters during last three days.
However, on Sunday it was one to take back for Virat Kohli from its old foe, England’s Barmy Army who were quick to taunt India star with ‘Cheerio’ chants as Kohli walked back to the pavilion following his dismissal in the second innings of the ongoing Edgbaston Test.
It was a superb delivery from England captain Ben Stokes that dismissed Kohli. He couldn’t have done anything more but to blame his luck as the ball popped up out of nowhere and took the outside edge. Wicketkeeper Sam Billings went for the catch, but the ball slipped out of his gloves. However an alert Joe Root at first slip grabbed it no time to complete the dismissal.
As Kohli walked back to the pavilion after scoring 20 off 40, Barmy Army was spotted chanting ‘Cheerio’ from the stands, a video of which was posted on their Twitter handle.
Cheerio is usually used as a farewell and sometimes as a greeting or toast.
