As Virat Kohli performed a masterclass in batting against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, his close friend AB de Villiers was delighted to see his former teammate "dancing again".
Whether de Villiers was referring to Kohli's jig at the crease while some Punjabi music blared on the stadium speakers or him dancing down the track to smash the Afghan spinners around the ground en route to his first international century in almost three years is not something we can be certain about, but the South African batting legend hailed it as a "lovely sight". "@imVkohli dancing again!
What a lovely sight," de Villiers tweeted. @imVkohli dancing again! What a lovely sight "When I spoke to him yesterday I knew something was brewing," the former RCB star wrote in a follow-up tweet. "Well played my friend." When I spoke to him yesterday I knew something was brewing Well played my friend Kohli hit an unbeaten 122 off 61 deliveries in the Super 4 match.
This was his first ever T20I century and his first in international cricket since his much talked about drought started in November 2019.
