Kohli can't hold back his smile after Bhuvi dismisses Gayle

Bengaluru: While he maintains his composure with bat in his hand, it is not difficult to get a reaction from Virat Kohli when he is on the cricket field.

Indian cricket team’s Test skipper and deputy to MS Dhoni in ODI and T20s, Virat Kohli captains Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indian Premier League.

The star-studded side features the likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Mitchell Starc, Shane Watson and promising youngsters such as Sarfaraz Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Parvez Rasool and KL Rahul.

While his passion towards the game is all to see, there was a moment during Tuesday’s Royal Challengers Bangalore versus Sunrisers Hyderabad game which once again highlighted how happy, although playing for different IPL sides, he gets when one of his Indian teammates does well.

Kohli opened the innings with Gayle. While the right-hander struck 75 runs off 51 balls, the Jamaican failed to get going and was bowled by Indian medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 1.

As Bhuvi broke into celebrations, he turned back and witnessed Kohli giving him a broad grin. Although they are separated by IPL sides, the bond they share as Team India members hold stronger above everything else.
