The third day of the second Test match against Bangladesh was a forgettable one for Virat Kohli on the field. The former captain of India lost up to three receptions while playing in the field. He only managed to score one run with the bat before making the long trip back to the pavilion.
When stumps were reached, Kohli entered a defensive posture and stopped trying to play his shots. However, the defensive strategy backfired, and he was captured at the short leg. After the giant fish was kicked out, the Bangladeshi team could not be stopped, and the players were jumping for excitement.
A few players appeared to have addressed Kohli, who moved to respond as they spoke. The umpires were on hand to manage Kohli, and Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan also stepped in to save his team. An unknown player irritated Kohli while he was returning to the pavilion.
The departure of Kohli was praised by Bangladesh’s players for the second time in less than 10 minutes. Virat Kohli was declared out by Taijul Islam by the on-field umpire after only two previous overs. The Indian batsman immediately reviewed the ruling because he was sure he had hit the ball. The decision taken on the field was overturned after the replays revealed that he had made contact with the ball.
India is having a difficult time reaching its goal of 145. KL Rahul, the opposition team’s first victim, was eliminated early, and the India captain left the game for two. Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara were stumped with scores of 6 and 7, respectively.
Axar Patel was sent ahead of Virat Kohli by the team management, but after the third wicket fell, Patel was forced to enter the batting order. Bangladesh took the lead after Kohli was dismissed toward the conclusion of the day. India has never lost to Bangladesh in a Test match.
