"Makes Analyst Look Like A Magician": Virat Kohli's Dismissal vs Bangladesh Decoded

Star India batter Virat Kohli walked into the Chepauk amid loud cheer from the crowd on Day 1 of the 1st Test against Bangladesh.

However, his stay in the middle lasted just six ball as an old failing resurfaced to haunt him. Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud, who had already got the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, pitched one just short of the length outside the off-stump, and the length was not suitable for drive.

However, Kohli went for it and the ball took a healthy edge off his bat and nestled into Litton Das' gloves. This isn't the first time that Kohli has perished while trying to play an expansive drive outside of off.

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal, who was on commentary duty, said that the dismissal made the analyst look like magician. "Virat's coming back to Test cricket after a while, so he wants to build back by feeling the ball.
