New Delhi, Oct. 25 -- Virat Kohli enjoyed his first run in the ongoing series against Australia like a youngster playing his first match for the country on Saturday at a packed Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). After registering two consecutive ducks in the first two games of the ODI series, Kohli walked out at SCG amid huge cheers and a standing ovation following the dismissal of Shubman Gill.

Playing his first delivery off Josh Hazlewood, Kohli went forward to clip the ball towards midwicket and completed a quick single with the crowd roaring on the top of their lungs. The 36-year-old looked to be a relieved man and celebrated his single with a fist pump and a smile.
