‘Old story started again’: Fans react after Virat Kohli fails to perform against Bangladesh in 1st Test
India and Bangladesh are locking horns in the first Test of the two-match series. In Rohit Sharma’s absence, KL Rahul is leading the team in the first test. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, India did not have a great start to the inning.
Three quick wickets in the opening session rocked the Men in Blue, with opener Shubman Gill returning to the pavillion after scoring 20 runs off of 40 deliveries. Following KL Rahul’s departure with just 22 runs to his name Virat Kohli was also dismissed quickly. Out of all these dismissals, Kohli’s failure to perform well and his dismissal with a score of just one was the most heartbreaking for Indian supporters.
Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam trapped Kohli in front of the stumps in the 20th over of the Indian innings. Kohli tried to get the on-field decision overturned by using the Decision Review System (DRS), but it was unsuccessful.

Virat Kohli should stop getting stunned and surprised whenever he gets dismissed. Just turn around and walk back. You’re not someone who cannot get out. #ViratKohli #BANvIND
