The star India batter Virat Kohli before the match against Sri Lanka in Mumbai was spotted enjoying a dance with former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh. The two teams are meeting again after their encounter in the Asia Cup final, where India defeated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, Kohli has been in exceptional form, accumulating 354 runs in six innings at an impressive average of 88.5.
The legendary Indian batter has been a pivotal figure for India in the past decade. He achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the quickest cricketer to reach 13,000 ODI runs, surpassing his idol, Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli’s magnetic personality has endeared him to fans across the globe, alongside his cricketing prowess. Before the Sri Lanka match at Wankhede, he delighted fans with a dance performance alongside Harbhajan Singh.
The former India spinner, Harbhajan Singh appeared to relish the talismanic India batter’s spontaneous dance display, contributing to the camaraderie shared among them and Shubman Gill, who was also in attendance. Harbhajan is a member of the commentary team for the 2023 ODI World Cup, and India has been an exceptionally consistent team in the tournament, winning all six of their matches. A victory on Thursday would secure India’s place in the semifinals.

India entered the game as favourite against Sri Lanka
India holds a superior record against Sri Lanka, and they are entering the match following a victory over the defending champions, England, who have struggled in the tournament. On the other hand, Sri Lanka is coming off a surprising loss to Afghanistan, who are fighting to stay in contention for the semifinals.
With four losses in six matches, Sri Lanka doesn’t have much to lose. India’s upcoming match is against South Africa on Sunday, November 5 in Kolkata, which coincides with Virat Kohli’s 35th birthday. Initially, the Cricket Association of Bengal had planned extensive celebrations for the former captain, but many of them were later cancelled.
