Virat Kohli's priceless reaction to the entire incident was also captured by fans on camera.
India put on a dominant show in the ODI series against New Zealand. While they registered a thrilling win over the visitors in the series opener in Hyderabad, the other two matches saw the Men in Blue thrash the Kiwis comfortably. The final ODI of the series was played in Indore where Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored centuries as India posted 385/9, in response, the BlackCaps were 295.
While there were moments in the New Zealand chase where it looked like they might challenge India's massive score, wickets at regular intervals meant India bagged the match comfortably. However, one particular incident that happened at the Holkar Stadium during the second innings has now gone viral on social media.
Spectators present at the stadium were teasing Shubman by calling out actress Sara Ali Khan's name who has been spotted with the cricketer in the past. Fans were chanting, "Humari bhabhi kaisi ho, Sara bhabhi jaisi ho" when the Indian opener was fielding near the boundary.
However, Virat Kohli's priceless reaction to the entire incident was also captured by fans on camera.

Talking about Shubman, the youngster grabbed his chance with both hands as he was the Player of the Series in the ODI series. He finished as the joint-highest run-getter ever in a three-match ODI series with 360 runs.
"Feels nice when you have a series and you perform well. I don't think my approach has changed after the double hundred. It's all about getting a start and converting every game. Just to be in the situation and looking to score helps convert those starts for me. Our bowlers bowled really well on this wicket," Shubman on receiving the recognition said after the third ODI.
Meanwhile, India's captain Rohit Sharma too was impressed with Shubman's attitude.
"Gill's approach is quite similar every game. Wants to start afresh every game. As a youngster, coming into the team and to have that attitude is great. He could have taken it lightly but he doesn't seem to be that type," he said.
India and New Zealand will now compete in a three-match T20I series starting on January 27 at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi.
