Kohli's reaction was priceless.
Indian pacer and tailender Akash Deep shocked many including Virat Kohli as he launched a massive six off Australia skipper Pat Cummins on Day 4 of the ongoing third Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test in Brisbane.
It was a fuller delivery on the off-stump from Cummins as Akash Deep produced the clean strike for the huge maximum, sending the ball screaming over deep mid-wicket.
Virat Kohli, who was sitting in the dressing room, had priceless reactions as he rushed to the window to see how far the ball had travelled.
Notably, Akash Deep had slammed Cummins for a boundary just one ball before and was riding high on his confidence.
