Anushka Sharma goes wild in the stands when Virat Kohli dismisses Scott Edwards with his bowling. Virat Kohli picked up the fifth wicket of his ODI career.
Virat Kohli, the star Indian batsman, was seen rolling his arm over again during Match 45 against the Netherlands on Sunday, November 12 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The crowd at Kohli’s home field of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore applauded him on when he bowled the 23rd over of the innings.
Sybrand Engelbrecht edged one through the slips for a four, giving the right-arm medium bowler six runs in his over. However, Kohli eventually got the wicket of Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards in his second over, who was strangled down the leg side on the third ball of the 25th over. When Kohli got his fifth ODI wicket, his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, came out laughing in the stands.
