Was Virat Kohli out or not out? That is a question which will hover around in the minds of several fans after the star batsman was trapped right in front by Mehidy Hasan Miraz during the IND vs BAN 1st Test 2024 on September 20. Kohli, who looked a lot more confident and in control in the second innings, played some good-looking shots but missed a straight delivery from Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the 20th over of the third innings of the IND vs BAN 1st Test 2024. As soon as umpire Richard Kettleborough raised his finger, Kohli instantly enquired with Shubman Gill and opted against using the Decision Review System (DRS) before making his way back to the pavilion. Virat Kohli Completes 12,000 Runs at Home in International Cricket, Achieves Feat During IND vs BAN 1st Test 2024.

It surely was a heartbreaking moment for Indian national cricket team fans, especially those present at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai as their wait to watch a Virat Kohli masterclass continued. However, there was a bit of surprise as a replay later on showed a spike on the DRS. There was an inside edge before the ball had hit the pad and Kohli was not aware of it at all. As soon as the spike was shown on the giant screen, the fans as well as the Indian cricket team dugout were left surprised. Captain Rohit Sharma also was seen expressing his surprised reaction at the same from the dressing room. Chepauk Crowd Goes Berserk As Virat Kohli Waves Back at Them During IND vs BAN 1st Test 2024 Day 2 (Watch Video).

Virat Kohli's long-awaited return to Test cricket thus, did not go as per plan with the right-hander falling for low scores in both innings. While his decision to not take the DRS might be the topic of discussion, this dismissal also shows Kohli's susceptibility to spin bowling. However, like other times in the past, Kohli will look to make a roaring comeback and once again start scoring runs at will in Test cricket, a format he admires and adores.
