Does This Video Show Virat Kohli Laughing Because Krunal Pandya Got Injured? No, Not Quite!
A very misleading piece of footage indeed.
Sometimes all is not what it seems and even something straightforward could be misleading.
That's what happened during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians.

Krunal Pandya got injured while running and had to be assisted off the field. At this point the camera cut to Virat Kohli who was walking to fielding position and was laughing to himself about something else but the bad timing made it look as if he was happy that Krunal got injured!

Krunal got injured in the 15th over of RCB's innings. He had to then dive and save himself while batting when Kohli tried to run him out. Kohli was appreciating Krunal's quickness and was laughing to himself when the batsman unfortunately had to be carried off.
So not to worry folks, Kohli has not lost his sportsman spirit. It's just some misleading footage. After all the players are all professionals and no one would be happy if another got injured, no matter what team you play for.
