On Day 4 of the third Test of the ill-tempered India-Australia series in Ranchi, a fired-up Kohli was seen giving Aussie opener David Warner an animated send-off.


Here's the video:




The skipper was waiting for such a moment to make the Aussies known who's the boss. And that moment arrived rather too soon, as Ravindra Jadeja clean bowled Warner early in the Aussie second innings.


A jubilant Indian team gathered to celebrate the wicket, but Kohli was in a different mood. He gestured at his shoulder, then gripped it with his left hand, even was Warner walked past the fielders.


It was obviously a dig at Glenn Maxwell, who started the controversy earlier in the match, by mocking Kohli's injury.
