New Delhi: India’s star batter Virat Kohli departed early in both innings of the first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. It was a disappointing outing for the experienced batter who only managed to score 6 and 17 runs in both innings.
Hasan Mahmud dismissed Kohli as he tried to drive a full outside-off delivery but only managed to get an outside edge and handed an easy catch to the keeper. He again walked out to bat in the last session of day 2 but was removed by Mehidy Hasan.
Kohli was looking good in the middle but the Bangladeshi spinner bowled a full delivery and he was looking to play a shot through the on-side. He got beaten on the inside edge to get rapped on the front pad. After having a word with Shubman Gill, Kohli decided to not take the review and went back to the pavilion but there was a spike on ultra edge.
During the 15th over of the second innings, Shakib Al Hasan bowled back-to-back yorkers to Kohli. After the over, Kohli had a chat with Shakib and compared him with former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga.
“You are my Mali,” Kohli told Shakib. When the Bangladeshi all-rounder did not understand, the Indian batter made it clear by saying, “Malinga bana hua, yorker pe yorker (You have been landing yorkers like Malinga).
