On a joyful evening in Visakhapatnam, during the third ODI against South Africa, Virat Kohli let loose some celebratory moves after a key wicket, turning the field into a mini dance floor. As Kuldeep Yadav wrapped up a crucial dismissal, Kohli grabbed his hand and burst into a spontaneous playful dance — a moment that instantly turned into a viral clip.
Kuldeep had just finished off the lower order with a brilliant spell (4/41), wrapping up South Africa’s innings for 270 and handing India full control. With bowlers doing the hard work, the mood in the Indian camp turned light and lively, and Kohli made sure the victory-celebrations began right there and then.
The slow-dance-style celebration between Kohli and Kuldeep wasn’t just about the wicket — it was a celebration of team spirit, camaraderie and pure joy in the moment. What could’ve easily been a routine bowling celebration turned into one of the most memorable on-field reactions in recent times.
Social media erupted almost immediately. Fans flooded the timeline with clips, memes and laughing reactions — praising the duo for their fun side and the refreshing, human moment in high-stakes cricket. For many, it provided a perfect contrast to the intensity of the match.
