Virat Kohli is known for his enthusiasm and energy on the field. On Thursday, the Royal Challengers Bangalore was spotted looking pumped up for their IPL 2020 match against Kings XI Punjab. Kohli put on dancing shoes during a pre-match warm-up routine as the skipper was looking completely at ease in the lead up to the big game in Sharjah.
Virat Kohli's impromptu dance performance during the warm-up cracked up the commentators and triggered a meme-fest on social media.
England and Rajasthan Royals pacer Jofra Archer, who is quite active on social media, joined the bandwagon as he came up with a hilarious reaction to Virat Kohli's moves on the field.

Virat Kohli, as suggested by Parthiv Patel, has been more relaxed and smiling more than ever in the ongoing edition of the IPL in the UAE. The RCB skipper completed a major landmark on Thursday as he played his 200th match for the Bangalore-based franchise.
Kohli's excitement for the milestone match was evident as he explained to the world what Royal Challengers Bangalore meant to him and how he had achieved something which he expected the least when he began his IPL career in 2008.
However, the result did not go Kohli and RCB's way on Thursday as the former finalists paid the price for some questionable tactics.
Virat Kohli held back AB de Villiers, who had smashed a 33-ball 73 not out a couple of nights ago in Sharjah. RCB sent the South African star after Washington Sundar and Shivam Dube. De Villiers had only 4 overs to face in the end and the move backfired as the big-hitter was dismissed for just 3 runs.
RCB managed 171 on the board, thanks to a late blitz from Chris Morris but it was not enough as former RCB star KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Chris Gayle got Kings XI Punjab past the finish line in what turned out to be a last-ball thriller in Sharjah.
