Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli shared a hilarious moment with New Zealand star Daryl Mitchell during the 3rd ODI encounter in Indore on Sunday.

Mitchell was in sensational form as he slammed 137 off 131 deliveries with the help of 15 fours and 3 sixes. He looked extremely comfortable against the Indian bowlers and was able to guide New Zealand to a massive total. Mitchell's innings finally came to an end during the 45th over when he was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj. As the New Zealand batter made his way back to the dressing room, Kohli was seen applauding near the boundary line. He had a small chat with Mitchell before jokingly pushing him out of the ground in a moment that left both fans as well as the New Zealand batter in splits.

Coming to the match, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana took three wickets each but centuries from Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips took New Zealand to 337 for eight against India. Mitchell struck his second consecutive century of the series to make 137 off 131 balls with 15 fours and three sixes, while Phillips hit nine fours and three sixes to score 106 off only 88 balls. The two revived New Zealand with a 219-run stand for the fourth wicket after the Kiwis had slumped to 58 for three, with Arshdeep taking two wickets upfront. While Arshdeep returned 3/63 from his full quota of overs, Rana was expensive, giving away 84 runs from his 10 overs for three wickets. Towards the end, skipper Michael Bracewell hit an 18-ball 28 not out with three sixes and a four.
