Following an extended hiatus, Team India has kicked off their season with the Bangladesh series. Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bowl first. India’s innings got off to a rocky start as they lost key wickets early on, including a surprising dismissal of Virat Kohli. The early setbacks have put the Indian team on the back foot, adding to the challenge of setting a solid foundation for their innings. The team now faces the task of stabilizing their performance and building a competitive total.
Virat Kohli’s Early Dismissal:
India began their innings promisingly, but the situation quickly took a turn for the worse. The first jolt came with captain Rohit Sharma’s early dismissal, followed by Shubman Gill being out for a duck. The biggest blow, however, was Virat Kohli’s unexpected and early departure, which significantly impacted India’s progress. These early setbacks have put India under pressure, highlighting the need for a strong recovery to build a competitive total.
In the 9.2 over, Hasan Mahmud made a significant impact by dismissing Virat Kohli, who was caught by Litton Das. Kohli, visibly frustrated, chased a full delivery outside off stump with an aggressive drive. The ball, moving away from him, took a healthy outside edge and was easily collected by the wicketkeeper. Kohli’s shot selection was questionable, given the conditions were favorable for the bowlers. He only managed to score 6 runs.

Having taken three wickets in the first hour, including the prized scalp of Kohli, the Bangladeshi bowlers have put India in a challenging position, significantly impacting their innings’ stability and setting the tone for the rest of the match.
