Virat Kohli joins the team at Chennai post his Paternity leave.
In the video, the skipper could be seen getting back in the swing of things while also having a fun time warming up and playing football with his teammates.
However, there was this one moment in the video which got the attention of most of the fans of the Men in Blue.
Fans replies for the Virat’s Helicopter shot
Around the 27 second mark of the video, a jolly Kohli could be seen shadow-practicing one of the most iconic shots in the history of Indian cricket – the famous ‘Helicopter Shot’ which was obviously popularised by the former captain of the team and recently retired international cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
