Before Mohammed Shami dismissed Marnus Labuschagne, Virat Kohli was seen munching on second slip
Virat Kohli is an animated character both on and off the pitch. Since giving up the captaincy in all three formats, Kohli has been seen in a jovial avatar on the field these days, sometimes dancing his heart out, and on other occasions snacking between overs.
Yes, you read that right, during the first session on the first day of the fourth Test between India and Australia, the former Indian skipper was seen snacking on a protein bar, and also shared the snack with his teammate Shreyas Iyer.
Usually the 34-year-old is very careful about his diet and his fitness, however lately it seems the foodie in Virat Kohli has gotten the better of him.
Earlier in the second Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Delhi, Kohli was seen animatedly lamenting his dismissal, however his expression changed immediately as he was offered ‘Kulche Chole’.

After India’s win, head coach Rahul Dravid even revealed that the veteran batsman had offered the same to the veteran coach.
The parcel that Virat received in Delhi changed his mood completely and Dravid later revealed that it was Kulche Chole, which brought out an interesting reaction from Kohli.
A similar incident happened on the first day, Kohli was seen chewing a protein bar before the start of the 22nd over to be bowled by Mohammed Shami.
The former India skipper stood in the slips and was seen having a protein bar before taking the strike off Marnus Labuschagne. Later, he pocketed the same as Shami bowled the first ball of the over and the Australian batsman defended it.

Kohli was later seen having breakfast with Shreyas Iyer standing at third slip. At first Iyer declined the offer, however he later changed his mind and took hold of the bar.
Just two deliveries later, Shami removed Labuschagne, with a peach to pick up India’s second wicket.
At lunch, Australia posted a total of 75/2, with captain Steve Smith holding hands with Khawaja, who hit a half-century in the second session of the day to give the visitors a steady start.
