The 28-year-old led the Indian cricket team to a wild celebration after picking up the last England wicket at Chennai's historic Chepauk.

Once Ravindra Jadeja took the wicket of Jake Ball, caught by triple-centurion Karun Nair at second slip off the last ball of the 88th over, Kohli grabbed a commemorative stump and ran with wild abundant, fisting the air and congratulating his team-mates.
