Don’t write off champions: Nathan Lyon on Kohli’s recent batting slump
The Australian team must be hoping to take advantage of Virat Kohli’s prolonged batting slump when the two sides clash in the five-Test series for the Border-Gavaskar trophy
A short video clip featuring cricketers Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant busting some dance moves recently surfaced online. The clip featuring the two has been shot outdoors and the two seem to be humming something that has an anthem feel to it. There is no sound in the clip and the 9 second feature reveals almost nothing.
While there are speculations that the short clip could be an announcement for a music album launch or perhaps an app launch, fans seem to be suggesting and thinking of everything under the sun.
After Rishabh Pant was not selected to play in the ICC World Cup team, this looks like the first time the Indian Cricket team captain and the pinch-hitter are appearing together on screen.

Earlier, when the BCCI’s selection committee named the 15-man squad for the World Cup that is to take place from May 29 in England and Wales, chief selector MSK Prasad had said Rishabh Pant was overlooked in favour of Dinesh Karthik because of the former’s abilities as a wicket-keeper while skipper Virat Kohli added that it was for his experience that saw him get the nod over Pant.
However, in the recent Indian Premier League( IPL) season, Karthik (KKR) seemed to have had a fairly ordinary season in comparison to Pant who was instrumental in helping his team (Delhi Capitals) qualify for the playoffs.
