Virat Kohli might not have had the best of outings in the first innings of the ongoing opening Test between India and the West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound in Antigua but continues to make headlines. Despite registering a rare failure, the Indian skipper is still grabbing eyeballs, not for his cricketing exploits but for his reading choice. During India’s innings, Virat Kohli was seen reading — the book of his choice: “Detox Your Ego: Seven Easy Steps to Achieving Freedom, Happiness and Success in Your Life” by Steven Sylvester.

However, Kohli is not the first India cricketer to read book during the match, Women’s captain Mithali Raj was also spotted reading a book during the matches.

However, Twitter users couldn’t keep on seeing their captain reading book during match. Check out some of the reactions here :

@StevenSylvester I think Kohli was reading your book. Expect a few hundred sudden orders from India now lol

Virat Kohli was dismissed for nine in the first innings on Day 1, falling victim to West Indies pacer Shannon Gabriel.

While Gabriel lacked Kemar Roach’s persistent accuracy, his extra pace continued to challenge India’s top order and brought him the reward of Virat Kohli’s wicket when the champion batsman attempted to guide a lifting delivery through backward-point only for debutant Shamarh Brooks to take a tumbling catch at gully.
