Virat Kohli’s Six Hits Security Guard On Head: Team India’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli, who was dismissed for just five runs in the first innings of the 1st Test, is batting impressively in the second innings. He played several fiery shots during the match, including a stunning six off Mitchell Starc on the off-side. Videos of these brilliant shots are going viral on social media.
One of Kohli’s stormy sixes injured a security guard on the head. In the viral video, the guard can be seen sitting with his back to the field, unaware of the incoming ball, which led to the unfortunate incident.
