Virat Kohli's Off-Field Entertainment

Virat Kohli, renowned for his on-field charisma and off-field antics, added a humorous touch to the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match between India and Bangladesh. Despite being rested for the inconsequential match, Kohli played the role of the ‘water boy’ for the Indian cricket team, leaving fans amused.

A Unique 'Water Boy' Run

As Anamul Haque was dismissed, Kohli rushed onto the field carrying water for his teammates. However, it was his distinctive running style that had fans in splits. Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur had already provided India with a sensational start by claiming early breakthroughs.

India's Team Changes and Lineup

Rohit Sharma, the captain, won the toss and chose to bowl against Bangladesh. India made several changes to their playing XI, with Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav being rested. Tilak Varma made his ODI debut, and Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, and Suryakumar Yadav were also included in the lineup.

However, middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer remained sidelined for India’s third consecutive game due to an ongoing fitness concern, as confirmed by the BCCI. For Bangladesh, Tanzib Shakib made his ODI debut.

Team Lineups

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna.

Bangladesh: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Anamul Haque, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.
