It was a chaotic day for Virat Kohli during the final session of Day 2 in the first Test against Bangladesh. Kohli was dismissed in an unusual way, getting out for 17 off 37 balls after stand-in umpire Richard Kettleborough ruled him lbw. However, replays later revealed that Kohli had actually hit the ball with his bat before it struck his pads, but surprisingly, he chose not to use the Decision Review System (DRS).

Rohit Sharma, who was dismissed for just 5 earlier and watching from the dressing room, was shocked by Kohli’s decision not to review. The replays left many scratching their heads as it was clear Kohli had made contact with the ball. Meanwhile, Kettleborough, realizing his mistake, was seen smiling, a familiar sight given his history with India in international matches.
India had resumed Day 2 at 339/6, but Ravindra Jadeja was soon dismissed for 86 without adding to his overnight score. Ravichandran Ashwin contributed 113 off 133, helping India reach 376. Debutant Akash Deep chipped in with 17, while Jasprit Bumrah added 7, and Mohammed Siraj went for a duck.
On the bowling front, Hasan Mahmud made history by becoming the first Bangladeshi bowler to take a five-wicket haul on Indian soil. Taskin Ahmed took three wickets, with Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz picking up one each.
In response, Bangladesh struggled, collapsing for just 149 in 47.1 overs. Shakib Al Hasan was the only notable performer with 32 runs. Bumrah led the Indian bowling attack with 4 wickets for 50, while Siraj, Akash Deep, and Jadeja each claimed two wickets.
India ended the day at 81/3 after 23 overs, with Shubman Gill (33) and Rishabh Pant (12) at the crease.
