Virat Kohli
After making a comeback in Test cricket in January 2024, Indian batter Virat Kohli has failed to make an impression in the ongoing test match Vs Bangladesh in Chennai. In the first innings, Virat falls prey to Hasan Mahmud for mere 6 runs. In the second innings, Virat scored 17 runs after getting adjusted LBW to Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
The below performances of Kohli have steered a buzz on social media where people have raised questions about his place in the team and asked him to retire from tests.
‘’Dear Kohli, I respect you a lot and love you but as an honest Indian cricket fan I believe you should consider giving up your No 4 spot for the betterment of the team. You struggle to bat in test match and pick the length so it might be better to retire with dignity🙏.’’ A user wrote.
‘’You have achieved a lot in the game of cricket, it’s time for others to shine.’’ Another user wrote.
As far as the first test is concerned, India find themselves in the commanding position after bowling Bangladesh out for 149 in their first innings against India’s 376. Jasprit Bumrah who earlier surpassed 400 wickets tally in International cricket was the peak of India’s bowlers by taking 4/50.
India are currently 115/3 with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are out in the middle. The lead is 342 runs.
