Virat Kohli, who is always alert on the field, has once again proved his awareness. Something happened in the last match of Border Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, after which the commentators were also seen talking about the caution of Virat Kohli. The ball was being searched before Australian bowler Scott Boland was ready to bowl his over. Only then did Virat Kohli tell the umpire that the ball was in his pocket.
Scott Boland was waiting for the ball to bowl his over.
Shubman Gill was on strike and Virat Kohli was standing non-strike. Only then the umpire started searching for the ball. Immediately Virat asked the umpire, 'Where is the ball?' The ball is in your pocket'. After this the umpire immediately took out the ball from his pocket and gave the ball to Bowland. On this funny incident, Hindi commentator Jatin Sapru said, 'Virat Kohli has been seen to be much more conscious and alert, his eyes on the ball are such that he was even on the umpire's pocket.'Safe to say, #ViratKohli has been quite 'watchful' this morning!

Even though Virat Kohli had his eyes on the ball and found the ball from the umpire's pocket, Virat Kohli could not take any advantage in the Sydney Test and returned to the pavilion cheaply.
Kohli once again lost his wicket by tampering with the outside ball. He was dismissed by Bowland on his personal score of 17 runs. Virat faced 69 balls in this innings and he looked in good touch. But this time also he was out in the same manner as he has been out during the entire tour, by tampering with the outside ball.This Australian tour has not been good at all for Virat. After flopping in the first innings of the Perth Test, he scored an unbeaten century in the second innings. But after this his bat has been completely silent. Virat has been able to score only 184 runs in 8 innings in this series.
