Virat Kohli showcases his dance moves during the India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI

During the second ODI against Sri Lanka, Virat Kohli brought his trademark energy to the pitch and pleased onlookers with his dancing movements. These motions resembled the classic Bihu dance that Riyan Parag helped to popularise.

Though India lost 32-run against Sri Lanka, Kohli's energetic presence at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on August 5 was a highlight. Kohli rejoiced with dancing movements reminiscent of many Parag's performances after capturing Sri Lankan batsman Sadeera Samarawickrama. After Rajasthan Royals' exciting victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Parag, an 18-year-old Assamese, became online famous for his Bihu dance.

Parag has frequently praised Kohli as he sees him as a role model. Online, Kohli's most recent on-field antics still attract interest, including a light-hearted interaction with Shubman Gill during the first ODI. Kohli's energetic nature is still a major draw for supporters even if he hasn't yet had a major influence with the bat in the series.

Sri Lanka demonstrated superior performance in all categories during the second ODI, securing an insurmountable advantage in the series. Furthermore, this loss signified the conclusion of India's remarkable sequence of 11 successive victories in one-on-one series in One Day Internationals versus Sri Lanka.
