Team India are currently cruising in the ODI World Cup 2023. They are currently the only unbeaten side in the tournament as they have won seven out of seven matches so far in the mega event. Rohit Sharma's side has qualified for the semi-final and became the first team to do so, in the ongoing tournament. During the game against Sri Lanka when India was bowling at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, the former India skipper Virat Kohli was in a happy mood as the pacers were bowling exceptionally well.
Kohli was caught dancing as the fans were singing a song named 'My Name is Lakhan' from a Bollywood movie, 'Ram Lakhan.' The batter has often been seen dancing and vibing with the songs during the matches. India batting first posted a mammoth total of 357/8 in their 50 overs, with the batter scoring 88 runs and missing a well-deserved century.
The Men in Blue were invited to bat first in Wankhede by Sri Lanka. They lost their skipper Rohit Sharma early on in the innings but, Shubman Gill and Kohli stitched a partnership of 189 runs. Gill scored a brilliant 92 runs and was dismissed by Dilshan Madushanka. A quick-fire 82 runs off 55 deliveries from Shreyas Iyer made sure India went past 350 runs.
