The much-anticipated ODI World Cup 2023<\/a><\/strong> kicked off in a grand fashion as New Zealand defeated defending champions England in the tournament opener<\/a>. The spotlight now is on the host nation India<\/strong>, who\u2019ll start their campaign in the World Cup against five-time champion mighty Australia<\/strong> at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on September 8 (Sunday).<\/p>\n As the world gears up for an enthralling clash between Men in Blue and the Aussie side, Team India players are also leaving no stone unturned to prepare themselves ahead of the important match. The same was evident as Rohit Sharma and Co.<\/strong> were recently seen sweating hard in the training camp ahead of the marquee encounter. However, amidst all the seriousness, a lighthearted moment featuring Virat Kohli<\/strong> has captured the hearts of cricket enthusiasts.<\/p>\n While the Indian cricket team is leaving no stone unturned in their quest for success, India batting maestro Virat added a touch of humour to Men in Blue\u2019s training session by running in a hilarious manner during the practice. The video of Virat\u2019s playful antic soon went viral on the internet.<\/p>\n In the viral clip, Virat can be seen running in a rather humorous manner while he heads towards the net with pads on. His comical running style brought back memories of his antics during an Asia Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh when he served as the \u2018water boy\u2019<\/a> and did something similar.<\/p>\n Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah having fun in the practice session. pic.twitter.com\/DlF1DuUueC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) October 6, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Fans couldn\u2019t help but react to Virat\u2019s entertaining display. One user humorously remarked, \u201cSame mood is needed in the semi-final,\u201d<\/em> while another praised him, saying, \u201cVirat is an absolute entertainer. He keeps everyone happy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Aside from his playful antics, Virat is on the cusp of achieving a significant milestone.
