It's Day 3 of the warm-up game between India and Leicestershire at the Grace Road, Leicester and the crowd at the venue saw former India skipper Virat Kohli walk in to bat at number seven.
He is greeted with a loud cheer and he makes sure to entertain the crowd as he looks to hit every ball he faces.
In his second over, he faced spinner Sai Kishore and on the fifth ball, hit him for a six. Surely it is a warm-up match, but for the player, who has not been in form, hitting the spinner for a maximum got netizens happy.
Eye-pleasing. Need more of these King @imVkohli!pic.twitter.com/fpGTw0CC9U
