A multi-format series was played between India and Australia during the 2018–19 Australian summer, and it is good knowledge that the Test series between the two countries generated the most interest among spectators. In Adelaide’s Adelaide Oval, India triumphed over Australia by 31 runs in the series opener despite a slow start on day one.

Former captain Virat Kohli expressed his delight at the team’s success. He only managed to score 37 runs, but the Indian bowlers’ performance was outstanding. After his 123-run performance in the first innings, Cheteshwar Pujara was named Man of the Match and presented with a trophy.

Former Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne was on the Fox Cricket broadcasting team and providing analysis from the stadium. Warne beckoned to Kohli as he walked by on the ground and invited him to stay for a while. The Indian star first said no, but then changed his mind.

Warne then played a recording of the public address announcer describing Kohli’s dancing and wriggling on the field on the third day of the Test. Kohli saw him dance and immediately felt embarrassed and turned away. Warne shared the video on his Instagram account.

“How cool is this by my mate and legend @virat.kohli – thanks for checking 360 out #wigglewigglewiggle @foxcricket can we break the internet with this followers – come on India, help me do that !!!!,” Shane Warne had written in his Instagram post.

Warne, who was one of the finest to ever play the game and the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history, died earlier this year. Warne’s off-the-field life was as interesting as his career on the field, and he was involved in several scandals. Kevin Pietersen, a former England batsman and Warne’s buddy, said that the media had a negative impact on Warne’s reputation.
