On Saturday, Day 3 of the ongoing second Test between India and Bangladesh was held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The match is being played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.
The athlete is pretty well-known for his lightning-fast reflexes on the field, but on Saturday he was unable to live up to the reputation he has earned for himself. During the second innings of Bangladesh’s match against India, he blew several catches while playing the position of slip fielder.
Litton Das was able to survive Kohli’s bad fielding and go on to play an important innings of 73 runs, which ultimately contributed to Bangladesh setting a target of 145 runs for India.
Kohli received a barrage of criticism from online users for his subpar performance in the field on Friday. The following are some of the responses:
How difficult was it, really, for fielders who were not named Kohli? I am aware that Mehidy blew a difficult opportunity against Iyer in the first inning. But outside from that, I can’t think of any other drops save the ones that Kohli made.
Indian batters were forced to press the panic button in a difficult chase of 145 by Bangladesh spinners, led by their talismanic skipper Shakib Al Hasan and the young Mehidy Hasan Miraz, as the visitors ended an engaging third day’s play in Dhaka on Saturday, tottering at 45 for 4. Bangladesh’s spinners were led by their talismanic captain Shakib Al Hasan.
After Bangladesh’s lower middle-order had dominated for the better part of two and a half days, they counterattacked to take their second innings’ score to 231, giving their bowlers something to defend against. The counterattack was led by Litton Das, who scored 73 runs off 98 balls, and was supported by Nurul Hasan, who scored 31 runs off 29 balls, and Taskin Ahmed, who scored 31 runs off 46 balls.
If India were to end up losing this game, two things would come back to haunt them: the 118 runs that were scored by the last four Bangladeshi pairs, and the fact that they did not use a third spinner in the form of Kuldeep Yadav on a pitch that became more treacherous as the game went on.
