Virat Kohli might have been ruled out of the all-important Dharamsala Test, but it has not stopped the injured India skipper playing an important part in the match.
Before the start of the fourth and final Test of the four-match series, India suffered a huge setback as their talismanic skipper was ruled out of the contest due to shoulder injury, he sustained during the Ranchi Test. However, the Delhi star, who loves to remain thickly involved in action, could not stop himself from taking to the field when the opportunity arrived.
The incident occurred in the sixth over of the innings when the on-field umpire was checking the condition of the ball. Sensing an opportunity, Kohli rushed onto the field with drinks and was seen giving his bowlers some inputs.
Meanwhile, the Twitterati were were utterly surprised to see the Indian star serve the drinks and here are some of the best reactions:

The only thing common between Kohli and Dhoni- Carrying drinks in between overs. #IndvAus

Virat Kohli came to serve drinks. His main motive was to abuse Karun Nair for dropping Warner's catch. #IndvAus

Good gesture by Kohli to bring drinks for the team, but don't take it to a completely different level. Amrit lekar nahi aaya tha! ?

Kohli is on the field. Carrying drinks. Might slip in a glare or a quiet word on his way out. #IndvAus

Can't rule out Kohli coming in as a substitute fielder some time just to rile up the Aussies 🙂
