Kohli's participation in the match had been thrown into jeopardy after he hurt his shoulder while fielding on Thursday.
The talismanic batsman was left clutching his right shoulder in pain after he dived while fielding at the mid-on area and later scans revealed that he had suffered a strain and missed fielding action for 400 minutes on day two.
But the Indian captain did come out today, only to be dismissed for 6 by Pat Cummins.
Pujara had flicked through the mid-on off Cummins and Maxwell gave a fine chase at the deep, exactly in the same region where Kohli endured that awkward dive to injure his right shoulder in the post-lunch session of day one.
Maxwell's mocking of Kohli continued the hostilities which started with Smith's 'DRS Brain-fade' in the second Test in Bangalore.
The Australian skipper was caught seeking dressing room clues before taking a DRS call, evoking a sharp reaction from Kohli.
Smith, on his part, had called Kohli's assertions complete rubbish.
