India's star batsman Virat Kohli may be a combative warrior with a sharp tongue and a feisty attitude, but when the cameras are not their he turns into the clown of the Indian dressing room.
Indian insiders have revealed that the team was much more relaxed with Kohli in charge in Adelaide than it has ever been under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is famous for his serious demeanour.
