Virat Kohli and his love for food delicacies are well documented. The former Indian skipper has been very vocal about his
captivating with various dishes on different occasions, and this love was on during the second Test between India and Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, February 18.
In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Kohli can be seen deep in conversation with head coach Rahul Dravid when a member of the ground staff informed him that the food is ready. While the duo seemed deep in conversation, there was a visible change in mood after he was told that food was ready to be served.
Many fans took notice of the video, and it has now been widely shared on social media.
This would have been a big reprieve for Kohli, who lost his wicket in an unceremonious manner against Australia.
Batting on 44, Kohli's pads were struck by a Matthew Kuhnemann delivery. On-field umpire Nitin Menon raised his finger and Kohli immediately reviewed the shot. Ultraedge showed that the ball hit him on the bat and pads almost simultaneously, and the wicket stood courtesy of the Umpire's call.
Ball tracking technology showed that the ball would have struck the leg stump, and the umpire's decision was upheld.
Notably, according to Law 36.2.2, if the ball strikes both the pad and the bat at the same time, the ball is considered to have struck the bat first but in this case, Kohli had to return to the dressing room after a 44-run inning.
After losing his wicket in such an unfortunate manner, Kohli was upset after he watched the replay of his wicket in the locker room. Batting coach Vikram Rathore and coach Rahul Dravid appeared to be disappointed with the umpire's decision.
