Virat Kohli had a brief but eventful innings during the second innings of the first Test between India and Bangladesh on September 20 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After scoring just six runs in the first innings, Kohli entered the crease looking to regain his form. He raced to 17 runs off 37 balls, but his dismissal was overshadowed by his decision not to use the DRS despite edging a delivery.
During his time at the crease, Kohli engaged in a lighthearted exchange with veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who was brought into the bowling attack by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto shortly after Kohli arrived. Shakib’s unexpected strategy of bowling a series of yorkers caught everyone off guard, including Kohli himself. The two former captains shared a laugh, with Kohli playfully comparing Shakib's bowling style to that of Lasith Malinga.
«Tu Malinga bana hua hai, Yorker pe Yorker de raha hai (You have become Malinga, bowling yorker after yorker),» Kohli said to Shakib in a comment that was captured on the stump-mic and immediately went viral on social media.
Ravichandran Ashwin's six for 88 wrecked Bangladesh as India romped to a 280-run victory in the opening test on Sunday to grab a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
Chasing a mammoth victory target of 515, Bangladesh were all out for 234 with only skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (82) offering some resistance with the bat.
