Virat Kohli is a much-loved figure in Bengaluru thanks to his long-standing association with Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli shares a special bond with the city and that was clear to see when he walked out to bat on Day 1 of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy on Saturday. The former India captain received a rousing welcome even as skipper Rohit Sharma walked off the ground after being dismissed. Another video has emerged of Kohli engaging with the Bengaluru crowd after they started chanting the name of former RCB star AB de Villiers during the Sri Lankan innings.
Former India captain Virat Kohli received a rousing reception when he walked out to bat on Day 1 of the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Virat Kohli, who plays for Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), shares a special bond with the crowd in Bengaluru. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter and shared a video of the fans cheering for Kohli when he walked out to bat after Rohit Sharma's dismissal.
India opener Mayank Agarwal was run out in strange circumstances on Day 1 of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. More than Mayank's mix-up with captain Rohit Sharma, it was Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella's antics that added to the confusion of the events. Instead of taking the bails off at the first opportunity when Mayank was miles away from the crease, Dickwella insisted on taking a review. It was after he had made the 'T' gesture that he took the bails off to run Mayank out. Reacting to the turn of events, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said Dickwella's insistence on taking a review was "beyond understanding".
M Chinnaswamy Stadium, there were 10 Indian batsmen and one Shreyas Iyer. The 27-year-old middle-order batter operated on a different plane. Counterattacking with elan, he blunted the Sri Lankan spin charge. Positive intent was the Mumbaikar’s mantra on the day. That could well make the difference in this day-night second Test, where bowlers called the shots on Saturday. FULL SCORECARDIn the second session, although the Lankans claimed six wickets, they conceded 159 runs and the man who piloted that charge was Iyer with his 98-ball 92. The Lankans paid the price for dropping the batsman, who put up a grand show of will and strokes. While runs flowed from Iyer’s bat, what was impressive was the composure and confidence with which he built his innings.
