Fans on Twitter reacted after Rishabh Pant stepped up in front of Virat Kohli in the ongoing second Test. Bangladesh National Cricket Team. The final match of the two-match Test series between the teams is underway at the Green Park in Kanpur.
The Indian National Cricket Team was on a mission with the bat in the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh. Skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal did the carnage early as they were all over the opposition team without even considering the new ball threat.
After the openers’ carnage, Virat Kohli at No. 4 was expected to come off the platform and thrive. Even when Yashasvi Jaiswal walked off the field, there was a huge cheer as everyone in the stadium expected that the main batsman would usually be out.
But with India in need of quick runs, the management promoted wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant to bat at No.4. The southpaw was in amazing touch as he was in the last game when he scored a magnificent century and announced his comeback in style.
Kohli struggled with the bat in the first Test. The right-hander scored 6 runs in the first innings and after that he was back in the hut for just 17 runs. It was his first Test in a while as he missed the England series at home due to personal reasons.
Also, Kohli generally takes some time to get going, on the other hand, Rishabh Pant can take on the bowlers right from the start. However, in the 5th over, Kohli came out to bat after Shubman Gill returned to the hut after 39 runs.

The last time Virat Kohli batted at No.5 or lower in the first innings of a Test without a nightwatchman employed was at Wankhede in 2013 – Sachin Tendulkar’s last Test

Virat Kohli used to play aggressively even before these IPL Bullies existed. Sending Pant ahead of Kohli is a huge disrespect to Kohli. pic.twitter.com/6Cxz0PBPD8

Virat Kohli was ready and wanted to go into bat but the captain sent Rohit Pant ahead of him, obviously everyone knows that Kohli can’t play fast and if he comes he will play in Bangladesh.
Captain Rohit was owned by Tuktuk Kohli. 😭 pic.twitter.com/90Olw0SKwe

Rohit Sharma promoted Rishabh Pant over Virat Kohli so the run rate might be higher but anti Indians u18 fans have already started crying.
Sometimes I feel that under 18 fans are more anti-India than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis pic.twitter.com/KHTorI5ahw
