The Indian cricket team beat Sri Lanka by 41 runs in a low scoring encounter on Tuesday at Colombo. The win on Tuesday over the hosts and the defending champions meant that India have qualified for the Asia Cup 2023 finals. India will be looking to win their 8^th Asia Cup title which is the most by any team.

Virat Kohli grabbed all the attention despite his rare failure with the bat at his favorite hunting ground. The former Indian skipper was out for just three runs from 12 balls on Tuesday. Just one day ago, Kohli had scored an unbeaten 122 off 94 balls against Pakistan in India’s 228-run win.

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli may not have had a great time in the middle as a batter, but on the field it was different. The 34-year-old is known to break into a dance during a break in the middle of a game. It wasn’t different on Tuesday when Sri Lanka was batting trying to chase down 214 to win.

Virat Kohli was seen grooving to the famous number ‘Lungi Dance’ sung by YO-YO Honey Singh from the movie Chennai Express. The crowd lapped it up as they cheered the small dance steps from Virat Kohli. The passionate cricket fans watching the game cheered and egged on the former Indian skipper for a few more moves.
