Ind vs Ban: Spotlight was on Virat Kohli , but his stay in the middle at Chepauk during India's first essay lasted merely six balls before he edged one to the wicketkeeper. All Kohli managed was six runs, which features a boundary as well. But what caught attention was when Kohli walked into bat after Shubman Gill found himself unlucky and was dismissed for a duck. When Kohli walked into bat, the graphic that went up on-air claimed that he is a left-handed batter, but that is incorrect. Kohli is a right-handed batter. The goof-up by the broadcasters did not go unnoticed as social space reacted on it hilariously. The rest of the stats on the graphic was absolutely correct. 

Kohli Dismissal: 

As Virat Kohli trudged back to the pavilion, the crowd was left stunned, and the Indian dressing room was left reeling from the early blow. The milestone, which seemed like a mere formality, will now have to wait. Kohli's dismissal has not only delayed his achievement but also put India on the back foot in the ongoing Test match.

At the time of filing the copy, the hosts were reeling at 176 for six at tea time. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are in the middle and they have the task of getting India back on track. With four wickets to his name thus far, Hasan Mahmud is the pick of the Bangladeshi bowlers. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal with 56 is the top-scorer till now.
