Watch: Virat Kohli walks in as waterboy during Super 4 clash vs Bangladesh
India and Bangladesh are locked horns in the last Super 4 fixture of Asia Cup 2023 on Friday, September 15 at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat first. However, at the end, Bangladesh held their nerves to win by six runs as they bowled out India in 49.5 overs.
However, what caught the attention of the fans was star India batter Virat Kohli coming in as waterboy after the fall of the second wicket. During the fourth over of the innings, Shardul Thakur destroyed the stumps of Tanzid Hasan (13 off 12) to send him on his way back to the pavilion. As soon as the wicket fell, Kohli, who’s been rested for the game, walked in as waterboy to provide drinks to his teammates. The incident has gone viral all over social media.
Notably, India have made five changes to their playing XI as Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya have been rested. They were been replaced by Suryakumar Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Tilak Varma was handed his debut ODI cap.
