Virat Kohli Thrills SCG Crowd with Hilarious Sandpaper Scandal Impressions!

This incident, alongside Steven Smith’s dramatic out, heightened the excitement of an exhilarating day of cricket as he approached a significant milestone.

In the opening session, Virat, who has frequently been provoked by the Australian supporters throughout the series, interacted with fans at the SCG. He was spotted imitating moments from the sandpaper episode that happened during Australia’s tour of South Africa in 2018, turning toward the audience and revealing his empty pockets, subtly referencing the infamous event.

During the 2018 sandpaper controversy, former captain Steven Smith, Cameron Bancroft, and David Warner were implicated in this notorious occurrence.

On the third day of the third Test between Australia and South Africa in Cape Town, the trio was found guilty of attempting to alter the condition of the ball.

Smith, who was part of that incident, also plays in the current BGT series. The experienced Australian player was merely a few runs away from achieving the 10,000 Test-run milestone.

He was just one hit away from celebrating a significant achievement in his career. Nonetheless, Prasidh extracted additional bounce from the pitch, compelling Smith to commit to the shot.

Smith appeared helpless as he attempted to defend against the rising delivery, ultimately slicing it toward Yashasvi Jaiswal, who dived from the third slip to make an impressive catch.

With Australia losing three wickets, Usman Khawaja and Travis Head worked to stabilize Australia’s dwindling chase of 162 runs. Mohammed Siraj rekindled hopes by inducing a slight edge from Khawaja. Jasprit Bumrah, who had dealt with back spasms on Day 2, returned to bat, but the lower order could not last long.

Earlier, India only managed to add 16 runs to their overnight total, thanks to the aggressive pace of Scott Boland and Pat Cummins. Ravindra Jadeja was the first to get out, followed by Washington Sundar, who joined him back to the dressing room shortly after.

Jasprit Bumrah, who suffered from back spasms on Day 2, came out to bat, but India’s tail failed to hold up as the team was bowled out for 157.
