Virat Kohli left stumped by Anushka Sharma's bizarre rules in game of cricket - Attempts 'Lassi Shot'

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were recently spotted displaying their cricket skills in a new advertisement, showcasing their playful and competitive sides. The couple, who rarely make joint appearances on screen, engaged in a unique cricket match where Anushka came up with quirky rules for each delivery, keeping Kohli on his toes. It was a fun and entertaining ad that highlighted their chemistry and love for the sport.

Anushka's improvised guidelines, such as "If you miss a ball three times, you're out" and "If you get angry, you're out," added to the humour as Kohli played along with these quirky directives.

As Kohli prepared to bat, Anushka quickly chipped in with a rule quite popular in gully cricket, stating "jiska bat, vo pehle batting karega" (the person who owns the bat bats first). She referred to another rule in street cricket when Kohli bowled her out on the first ball, stating that the first ball is “always a trial ball.”

When Kohli played a massive hit on the first ball from Anushka, the latter asked him to fetch the ball, adding another rule: “Jisne shot maara, ball vo lekar aayega (Whoever hit the shot will bring the ball).”

The ad, released on Instagram, immediately drew a heartwarming response from fans, many of whom praised the couple's chemistry.

Kohli was part of Team India's brilliant 2-0 clean-sweep win over Bangladesh, and played a key role with the bat in the side's victory in the second Test. After a poor outing on his return to Test cricket in the first match of the series in Chennai, Kohli turned up the heat in Kanpur. Adhering to the team's requirements of playing aggressive cricket on Day 4 (two days of the Test were washed out, forcing the hosts to play attacking cricket to force a result), Kohli fell only three runs short of his half-century, scoring 47 off just 35 balls.

In the second innings, he remained unbeaten on 29 off 37 deliveries as India chased down a 95-run target on the final day of the Test, thus clinching a series win.

The win helped India solidify their position at the top of the World Test Championship table. Kohli will next be seen in action in the Test series against New Zealand, which begins October 16.
