Classic Virat Kohli comments on West Indies batting

India thoroughly outplayed the West Indies in the opening Test in Dominica, winning by an innings and 141 runs. India will enter the second and final Test in Barbados as the favourite thanks to their outstanding performance.

The stump mic recorded several funny interactions during the opening match, particularly featuring the Indian side, which received a lot of attention on social media. In one video in particular, Virat Kohli was seen making fun of West Indies wicketkeeper Jomel Warrican when they were on the pitch.

The event happened in the second inning of the West Indies team's batting at 129/9. When facing a flighted delivery from Ravindra Jadeja, Jomel Warrican attempted to play a sweep shot but mistimed it. Ishan Kishan attempted to catch the ball as it flew in the air but was unsuccessful. Virat Kohli made the light-hearted remark, "Ye koun si batting kar raha hai" (What sort of shot is this?).
