Virat Kohli had bowled a few overs on Friday too. When R Ashwin was asked about Virat Kohli’s spell, he said, “Dishing out a lesson to all the bowlers about probably where you should bowl. Jokes apart, he just wanted to bowl a couple of overs because the bowlers were tiring out and before the second new ball came into play.”
Just for laughs 😅😎@ashwinravi99 talks about @imVkohli who had a bowl at the SCG today. pic.twitter.com/FcTZAyGqgr
