On the second day of the second test match, after a long time, Virat Kohli remembered his good friend ‘Ben Stokes’ on-field as he expressed his happiness after the dismissal of his good friend and skipper of New Zealand, Kane Williamson off Jasprit Bumrah’s stunning delivery.
Well, Virat Kohli is one of the most expressive men on the cricket field. If you are a fan of Virat Kohli, you will be well aware of the fact that over the course of his 12-year international career, Virat has summoned the name of ‘Ben Stokes’ many times, more than the name of any other cricketer.
However, it had been a while since Virat Kohli uttered his favorite word on-field and fans were missing the expression of joy on his face throughout the ongoing tour to New Zealand. But the fast has been broken now on Day 2 of the second test match.
It happened when India’s bowling trump card Jasprit Bumrah announcement in style by dismissing New Zealand’s skipper Kane Williamson early in the game. It was a cheeky line outside the off-stump and Kane Williamson was caught behind by Rishabh Pant for 3 runs.
Celebrating the comeback of Jasprit Bumrah and dismissal of New Zealand’s major wicket, a fired-up Virat Kohli, who was standing at a wide first slip, ran towards the players, after a couple of angry fist pumps, Virat Kohli finally uttered his favorite word and gave his good friend Kane Williamson a ‘foul-mouthed’ send-off.

@ICC: is Virat Kohli’s celebration of Kane Williamson’s wicker allowed? How is that different from Rabada’s celebration when he dismissed Joe Root?
