Though India’s three-day practice match against Essex County Cricket team ahead of the five-match Test series, did not pan out as the visitors wanted, it did not stop captain Virat Kohli and opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan from enjoying themselves at Chelmsford on Friday (27 July).
During India’s practice match at Chelmsford, in a beautiful gesture, Virat Kohli’s squad was welcomed with dhol, and taking advantage of the moment, the 29-year-old Indian captain and Shikhar Dhawan showed their Bhangra moves at the stadium. Kohli and Dhawan’s Bhangra was responded with a round of cheers and applause from the crowd.

The official Twitter handle of Essex Cricket shared the video on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, and wrote: “Two @BCCI players have enjoyed their time at Chelmsford! Well played, @imVkohli & @SDhawan25! 👏👏👏#ESSvIND.”
India vs England five-match Test series will start on 1 August and ahead of the series, Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara’s form is a major headache for Virat Kohli.
