Is Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli looking for an alternative career? Or is it a case of pure boredom?
During Indian team's warm-up tie vs the West Indies Board President's XI, Kohli seemed to be enacting a scene from the 'Planet of the Apes'. The 27-year-old could also have been trying to do his best imitation of Bollywood legend Dev Anand or is it Ashok Kumar.
Whatever Kohli may be doing, it's apparent that he's enjoying himself in the West Indies in his role of skipper.
His style of leading the team and tactics in the middle are unusual and have been questioned by some, including his tactic during this game of making batsmen retire after a certain time in the middle to give the others some practice.
But it shows that he's trying and whether he has succeeded or not still remains to be seen.
Kohli with just 14 during his batting sojourn in the middle failed to get some valuable batting practice before the start of the four-match Test series.
He though will get a second chance when the team play their second warm-up game before the Test series gets going from July 21 at Antigua.
