IND vs BAN | Twitter in frenzy as Kohli gets his bowling shoes on with accurate inswingers

Bangladesh got off to a stellar start against India on Thursday, biding their team early while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj swung the ball around before pressing on the accelerator. Hardik Pandya was brought into the attack in the ninth over and was greeted by Litton Das with two boundaries in three balls, the latter of which saw the bowler hobble off the pitch with an injured ankle while attempting to stop the ball in its tracks. Thus, with the Men in Blue needing to complete the over but Rohit Sharma unwilling to waste deliveries of his primary options, the Indian skipper called upon the services of talisman Virat Kohli to do the needful.

As the 35-year-old took off his cap and sunglasses to get ready for the task, the crowd erupted in a massive cheer. Kohli's first run-up was halted midway as he lost his rhythm but followed it up with a gorgeous inswinger heading straight to off-stump. Litton kept it out with a textbook straight defence before digging out a much fuller delivery for a single at long-on. The batter was all giggles after the shot, acknowledging the hilarity of the occasion, as was Virat Kohli sporting a large grin on his face. Tanzid Hasan capped off the over with a single off another accurate inswinger, bringing an end to the entertainment.

Twitterati took little time to flood social media with reactions to the rare happening on the cricket field.
