Virat Kohli dances his way to celebrate Niroshan Dickwella’s wicket

Niroshan Dickwella is a special player for Sri Lanka, the wicketkeeper-batsman adds life to their batting attack in the lower order and has the ability to spice things up with the bat. He likes to take the attack to the opposition and irrespective of the situation plays his shots. Dickwella had got under the skin of the Indians in the previous Test and thus when he got out in Nagpur Indian captain Virat Kohli was dancing on his way from the slips to celebrate the wicket.

Sri Lanka were in a spot of bother in Kolkata when the No.6 batsman walked to the middle. But he played positive cricket and also resorted to techniques to consume time and ensure they ended the game in a draw. He had quite a banter with Kohli and a heated exchange with pacer Mohammed Shami. Though he got out sooner, managed to save the game for his team.

In the Nagpur Test, batting first Sri Lanka didn’t quite have a good outing as the Indian bowlers, just four of them this time chipped away with regular wickets. While Ishant Sharma opened the account both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja got into the act and enjoyed bowling in tandem again.

Dickwella walked out as Dimuth Karunaratne was sent his way back by Ishant in the 51st over. He added 24 runs from 30 balls but eventually lost patience and jumped down the track on a Jadeja delivery. He didn’t get to the pitch of the ball and while he wanted to hit it on the on-side the ball went high up on the off-side and not further than mid-off where Ishant accepted a simple catch.

The Indians were elated as they avoided a low order resistance getting the 24-year-old out cheap. Kohli for the dual fact of the contest and since it was an important wicket was seen performing the ‘Bhangra’ as he moved towards his teammates to celebrate the success.
