Posting the video on 'X', Star Sports, the broadcaster of the match wrote, "Always in the game, always in the ear! 😁👑🗣 ICYMI 👉🏻 @imVkohli’s stump mic gold from the ongoing #PinkBallTest! 🔥"

Meanwhile, Australia is tightening their grip over the visitors as they go past India's first innings tally. Powered by Half centuries from Labuschagne and Head, the Oz are currently (Day 2) at 207/4.
