Virat Kohli is an entertainer when it comes to his relation with the crowds. The former India captain once again at his animated best when Kohli mocked the Australian crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday with a ‘Sandpapergate’ gesture on Day 3 of the fifth Test.
The incident took place when Kohli was subject to jeers from the Australian crowd soon after Smith was dismissed. Kohli, turned towards the stands and showed emptied pockets, thus reminding the fans about the infamous Sandpapergate scandal that took place in 2018.
Meanwhile, Smith were at 9999 runs in Tests when he was taken by surprise by a Prasidh Krishna delivery with Yashasvi Jaiswal completing a brilliant diving catch at the gully. Had Smith got to 10000 runs, he would have been fourth Australian batter to reach the milestone.
