During the opening day of the Pune Test, fans were heard chanting 'Kohli ko bowling do'. Virat Kohli is arguably the most followed modern cricketer and hence it should not come as a surprise for fans. Fans were heard chanting ‘Kohli ko bowling do’ during the post-lunch session. This happened when Ravichandran Ashwin was getting ready to bowl. While the crowd was chanting Kohli's name, the cricketer was trying to get the field right. This is not the first time fans have been chanting this slogan at a cricket field. Kohli, who is primarily a batter, can also roll his arms over when required. The clip has surfaced on social space and fans are loving it. Here is the viral video:

Ashwin's Magic

Meanwhile, Ashwin became the leading wicket-taker in World Test Championship history. Ashwin achieved this feat during the first day of the ongoing second Test at Pune between India-New Zealand. Before the match started, Ashwin needed one wicket to equal Lyon - instead - he got two wickets before lunch. India will look to pick up the rest of the wickets by the end of play today.
