Virat Kohli was seen reading Steven Sylvester’s book ‘Detox Your Ego’ during the first Test against West Indies, on Friday.
While Ravindra Jadeja was leading India’s batting, the camera moved to the dressing room balcony where Kohli was busy reading.

This is how netizens reacted to the Indian skipper reading a book on ‘ego’-
@StevenSylvester I think Kohli was reading your book. Expect a few hundred sudden orders from India now lol
