Bangladesh national cricket team are locking horns with the Indian national cricket team in the first of the two-match Test series and the game is currently being staged at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram.
India won the toss and chose to bat first and they made use of their resources to better effect despite a batting collapse at 48 for the loss of three wickets. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shreyas Iyer and Kuldeep Yadav contributed to the team with the bat.
Cheteshwar Pujara was the pick of the batters as he chipped in with 90 runs where he struck a flurry of eleven boundaries. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer scored 86 runs including ten boundaries to his credit.
The likes of Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep Yadav essayed decent knocks by scoring 46 and 40 runs. In the end, India were bundled out for 404 runs in the first innings. On the other hand, Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz bagged four wickets apiece.
Virat Kohli gives a classy send-off to Litton Das
During Bangladesh’s innings, former Indian captain Virat Kohli made the headlines after he gave a classy send-off to Bangladesh’s batsman Litton Das after the latter’s dismissal in the second ball of the 14th over.
Earlier, Litton Das came up with some kind of gesture after smashing a boundary off Indian pacers. Litton Das looked good as he smashed a flurry of five boundaries where he chipped in with 24 off 29 balls.
However, he was clean bowled by Mohammed Siraj’s sensational delivery and after the dismissal, Virat Kohli imitated the similar gesture that was shown by Litton Das earlier and the video clip went viral on the internet.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh players find themselves in a spot of bother as they failed to lead the attack in the second innings. They already lost half of their wickets for 79 runs inside 26 overs.
We certainly miss captain Kohli but not leader kohli 🔥
