Virat Kohli Shares a Laugh with Shakib Al Hasan During Test Match
India is off to a fantastic start in the first Test series against Bangladesh, taking a commanding lead at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After scoring a hefty 376 runs in their first innings—thanks to R. Ashwin’s century and Ravindra Jadeja’s fifty—India’s bowlers dismantled Bangladesh for just 149 runs.
On Day 2, a lighthearted moment between Virat Kohli and Bangladesh’s star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan captured attention on social media. As Kohli walked to the crease, he playfully compared Shakib’s yorker deliveries to those of Sri Lankan legend Lasith Malinga, known for his precise bowling. “Malinga bana hua, yorker pe yorker de raha hai!” Kohli quipped, highlighting Shakib’s impressive bowling.
Despite a rocky start for India, losing both openers early with the score at 28-2, Kohli’s brief innings showcased his skill before he was dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 17 runs off 37 balls.
The match is still unfolding, with India aiming to maintain its dominance. What do you think of Kohli’s playful banter?
