WATCH: Virat Kohli entertains Pune crowd with slow walk with the bat in 2nd Test match vs NZ

Virat Kohli is a crowd puller, not just with his batting talent. He has an innate skill to entertain the crowd with his dance moves or sweet gestures. Kohli did the same thing during the 2nd Test match. After day one ended and the players were walking back into the pavilion, he walked out of the dugout with his bat and walked slowly, making funny expressions. 

He did this near the boundary, where the crowd started recording him. They had a good time watching the former captain enjoy the game. India were happy with their efforts yesterday as they restricted the New Zealand team to just 259 runs in the first innings. The only disappointment in the entire day was Rohit Sharma's early wicket by Tim Southee, which shocked the stadium.

As day two started, Jaiswal and Gill went on to play their natural game. However, Santner came in and dismissed Gill while he was playing on 30 runs. The partnership of 49 runs broke as Gill had to return to the pavilion. However, as Virat Kohli walked in confidently, the crowd went crazy as always, only to see him getting out on one run. 

Spinners doing their job in 2nd Test match in Pune

The 2nd Test match between India and New Zealand belongs to the spinners as Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mitchell Santner, and Glenn Phillips have collectively taken 14 out of 15 wickets so far. The pitch is assisting the spinners more, which is unfortunate for India as the Kiwis have some of the best spin bowlers who have created a lot of chances on day two. 

India are trailing by 173 runs, which is huge. With Sarfaraz Khan and Ravindra Jadeja on the crease, the chances of taking a lead in the 1st innings seem difficult. Only a miraculous event from hereon can save India in the ongoing Test match.
