New Delhi: Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who notched up a fantastic 147 not out to take India past England’s first innings total of 400 mocked England captain Alastari Cook, as the later did not have any reviews left.
Virat kohli had mentioned before the start of the fourth India-England Test that he does not think about cricket all the time and loves his time off the field. But the ever so aggressive Virat Kohli gave a peep to his humorous side right at the stroke of stumps on Day 3.
Along with all-rounder Jayant Yadav, Kohli had taken India past England’s score and the former was just looking to ensure no further damage was inflicted by the England spinners as both teams approached stumps. Moeen Ali bowled a delivery down the leg side and the entire England team went up in a vociferous appeal for caught behind lead by wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow. Umpire Bruce Oxenford ruled in favour of the batsman Jayant Yadav, even though the replays suggested a clear inside edge. England could not ask the umpire to go upstairs as they had already used up their reviews. Amazingly, it was non –striker Virat Kohli who reminded Alastair Cook that he had no reviews up his sleeves by making a funny gesture of the DRS sign.

Virat Kohli scored his 15th Test ton in a Wankhede track which offered fair bit of assistance to the spinners. Earlier, Murali Vijay slammed a 136 and at the end of the day’s play India were 51 runs ahead with three wickets in hand
