The Indian cricket team is currently locking horns against Bangladesh in the ongoing 1st Test match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Former Indian captain and batting maestro, Virat Kohli had a short stay in the middle as he was dismissed cheaply in the ongoing first Test match.
As the game kickstarted, KL Rahul, who is leading the Indian cricket team in the absence of Rohit Sharma, decided to bat first on a flat wicket. KL Rahul along with Shubman Gill got off to a steady start as they smashed some stunning boundaries against pacers, however, they failed to make it big as Bangladesh struck back and picked up 3 wickets quickly, including that of Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli Was Dismissed Cheaply
Virat Kohli, who scored his 72nd international century in the 3rd ODI match, looked cautious in his approach in the first four balls he faced. However, his stay was cut short as he was undone by a turning delivery from Taijul Islam. The ball pitched on a good length and turned enough to beat Kohli’s bat. Virat Kohli went on to the back foot to play the delivery, however, the ball spun sharply suddenly from the middle of the pitch and struck him on the back pad.
Shocked by the delivery, Virat decided to go for the review only to see three red dots, which confirmed his dismissal. The former captain looked visibly disappointed as he walked back to the dressing room. The video of the same has been going around on the internet.

After losing three big wickets, the Indian side found itself in trouble until Rishabh Pant came out and did what he does. The Men in Blue are trying to catch up pace and rhythm of the game. At lunch on Day 1, India is at 85/3 with Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara in the middle.
