Indian National Cricket Team and Bangladesh National Cricket Team are currently locking horns with each other in the second Test match of the series. The game between the teams started on Friday (September 27) at Green Park in Kanpur.
Although not much play possible on Day 1 due to rain, India batter Virat Kohli made sure to entertain the crowd. The main batsman was a live wire on the field as he took wickets quite vividly and his intensity on the field was there for all to see.
Not only this, Virat Kohli was also in a jovial mood. The premiership batsman was seen chatting cheerfully with Ravindra Jadeja. In a video that has gone viral, they can be seen laughing a lot about something sloppy and thorough.

Coming into the match, the Indian National Cricket team won the toss and dominated the field. Bangladesh started cautiously with the bat as Shadman Islam (24) and Zakir Hasan showed great discipline with the new ball. But after that Akash Deep removed both the keys in his first spell.
Mominul Haque (40*) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) brought the team back into the game with a stand of 51. Ravichandran Ashwin bowled and trapped the Bangladesh National Cricket Team captain lbw to send him packing after a brave start.
Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) was at the crease along with Haque before rain forced the umpires to call a day off. Bangladesh finished with 107/3 in 35 overs. India would hope to pick early wickets at the end of the opponent’s innings and get on top of the game.
Indian bowlers especially Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be key for the Team to continue the game. Although the off-spinner has picked a wicket, Jadeja is yet to feature and it will not be a surprise if he makes an early appearance on Day 2.
Virat Kohli will be key for India in the ongoing game with the bat
With the Indian bowling first, their performance with the bat would be extremely important as it would decide the fate of the game. And for that, Virat Kohli will be key for the team. His individual game would be important for him as he has struggled to get going with the bat in the last few games.
Virat Kohli did not perform well in the last game against Bangladesh. He scored 6 runs in the first innings and after that managed just 17 runs in the second innings. He came under the scanner for not getting a DRS in the second innings after being trapped LBW.
Virat Kohli would like to get some runs under his belt as India have important Tests coming up. He would like to score a big ton and be high on confidence in the New Zealand and Australia Tests.
