Even as he stands up to the BCCI or voices his conviction­s on controvers­ial topics that might isolate him and cost him his captaincy, Virat Kohli has taken to his Instagram page to prove he’s not lost his funny side.

In his latest post, which he has done in partnershi­p with a global sports brand, Virat has added a video in which can be seen doing the helium challenge that’s been tickling the funny bone around the world for a while now. As the caption to his post, Virat has written, “On a lighter note Helium Balloon Voice [sic].”
