A day after his dismal performance at Indore in the Test Match against Australia in which the Kangaroos thrashed the Indians, former Indian Captain Virat Kohli sought divine intervention and prayed for blessings at the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain early today morning.
Accompanied by his Bollywood actor wife Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli paid obeisance at the world-renowned temple, wearing a traditional dhoti-sola with chandan on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck.
The celebrity couple spent more than an hour at the temple in worship of Lord Shiva. When surrounded by media persons, Kohli chanted ‘Jai Mahakal, Jai Mahakal’.
The Australians drubbed India by nine wickets in the third test match at the Holkar stadium at Indore on Friday.
The Indian squad had a forgettable match, as no one could perform well. Virat Kohli managed to score only 22 runs in the first innings and 13 in the second.
