"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.

Bad News For Shreyas Iyer: BCCI Officials Say "No Room, Won't Go To..."

Star India batter Shreyas Iyer is currently not in the scheme of things, as far as Test cricket is concerned. Iyer, who was not picked by the selectors for the 1st Test against Bangladesh, has endured a torrid run in the ongoing Duleep Trophy scoring just 104 runs in four innings. The batter has fallen behind in the pecking order, with youngsters like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel impressing in the whites against England earlier this year. With Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul also part of the squad for the series opener, Iyer's form in the Duleep Trophy has further dented his hopes of making a Test comeback any time soon.
