Indian skipper Virat Kohli is considered role model for many in the country. The star batsman is known for his commitment both on and off the field.

Being one of India's top performers in the ongoing Test match against Australia, Kohli utilized 20-minutes of the tea break on Day 4 to sharpen his batting before going in to chase 287 runs.

India started on a bad note in their chase of 287 after pacer Mohammad Shami brought back the visitors back in the second Test with a six-wicket haul on day four here on Monday.

Shami took career-best figures of 6-56 as Australia were bowled out for 243 runs in their second innings.
