It looks like India aren’t playing an international match in Colombo. Instead of an intense atmosphere, we saw players poking fun at each other and dancing. It wasn’t even the youngest members of the squad who were enjoying themselves, but rather the seniors. Virat Kohli was poking fun at Riyan Parag, replicating his famous ‘Bihu Dance’ celebration, and Rohit Sharma jokingly charged Washington Sundar after the bowler failed to deliver the ball two times in a row after miscalculating his run-up.
Rohit Sharma jokes around with Washington Sundar
Washington was in full flow before the goof-up happened. He’d already sent two set batters, Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis, back to pavillion in successive deliveries and given India the upper hand. With just all-rounders and tail-enders left, he looked to finish things off. The hurry led to him miscalculating and messing up his run-up twice, following which Rohit funnily charged at him while the commentators and all the Indian players laughed.
