Why Virat Kohli left the field during IND vs PAK game? Know the real reason

Virat had to leave the field as he kept everyone guessing about his sudden absence from the pitch.  Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to field first against Pakistan at Narendra Modi Stadium. The former Indian captain forgot to wear the tricolour stripes as he was wearing the usual white stripes when he first came on the field. After being corrected Virat quickly went to the dressing room and changed the jersey. Ishan Kishan took his place on the ground during that stipulated period and Virat later took the pitch without any further delay.

Pakistan made a good start in this crucial game but two quick wickets have derailed their plans. Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq both looked solid but Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya struck in quick successions as the Men in Blue came back in the game. 

Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are currently batting at the crease as the men in Green have crossed 100 runs on a flat Ahmedabad track. It remains to be seen how the Indian bowlers tackle this Pakistan batting lineup.
