The incident occurred when Virat Kohli failed to recognize a simple spike, which led to his LBW dismissal.

The viral video of the dismissal has left fans shocked, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief. "How could Kohli not see that spike?" tweeted one fan. "That was a brain fade moment if I've ever seen one!" wrote another.

Virat Kohli 's dismissal has sparked a heated debate among cricket enthusiasts, with some defending his decision to trust his batting partner's judgment. However, others have criticized Kohli for his momentary lapse in concentration, which ultimately led to his downfall.

With a lead of 227 runs, India ended second day at 81 for 3 with Shubman Gill (33 batting) and Rishabh Pant (12 batting) at the crease.

However, the beginning of India’s second innings was not really bright as they lost skipper Rohit Sharma (5) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) with 28 on board.

Rohit was forced to play a slightly short of the length delivery from Taskin Ahmed, and the resultant edge ended with Zakir Hasan at gully.

Jaiswal was guilty of succumbing to the temptation of going for an expansive drive after pacer Nahid Rana pitched one full following up on a few short-pitched deliveries.

But the 28 for two was not really alarming considering the substantial first innings lead India had amassed by then. However, they needed immediate consolidation to further tighten the grip.

Gill provided that in the company of Virat Kohli (17, 37 balls) for the third wicket while adding 39 runs.
