Virat Kohli playfully mocks Harbhajan Singh's blazer and busts out Jitender's iconic dance; video gains widespread attention

The incident occurred just before the day's play commenced, with Kohli seen breaking into a dance, causing uncontrollable laughter for Harbhajan. Kohli's lively spirit was infectious, and he even urged Harbhajan to join him in the cheerful moment.

Harbhajan, who was wearing a white blazer with pink stripes, explained the humorous exchange during a chat with Star Sports. “Kohli looked at me and he was like ‘Jitender (actor) idhar aa gaya?’ (Did Jitender come here?) and then he started singing ‘Naino Mein Sapna, Sapno Mein Sajna (Jitender's famous song),’” Harbhajan recalled.

“I didn’t understand what he was doing at first, because he was a little far away. Then he couldn’t resist, so he came closer to me, and then he started doing the hook steps. I was like, I made a mistake man!”

While the dance undoubtedly caught the attention of fans on social media platforms, the Test match itself saw minimal action. Australia finished Day 1 at 28 without loss, with Usman Khawaja unbeaten on 19 from 47 balls, and Nathan McSweeney on 4 from 33 deliveries.

Play was halted due to the persistent rain, with an official update confirming that the match would resume on Day 2 at 9:50 AM local time (5:20 AM IST), with a minimum of 98 overs to be bowled across the remaining days.

Virat Kohli will be aiming to make a strong return with the bat in the third Test after a poor outing in Adelaide. The Indian batter showed signs of a comeback when he smashed a century in the first Test in Perth; however, Kohli failed to make a mark in the pink-ball Test, registering scores of 7 and 11.
