Virat Kohli viral video: A video has surfaced on social media in which Australia cricket team's legendary wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist can be seen shaking former India skipper Virat Kohli's hands in super excitement, and also said something which led to the duo burst into laughter. The incident took place ahead of India vs Netherlands Super 12 T20 World Cup match in Sydney on Thursday. It seems that Kohli's recent knock against Pakistan, one of the finest T20 knocks by any batter across world, was probably the reason behind Gilchrist's excitement.
