The dance that he displayed was more of a celebration of Shakib's wicket. The Bangladesh all-rounder was keeping his team in the hunt, but he made an error that resulted in his wicket, especially after that start that he had with the bat.
Shakib Al Hasan tried to reverse sweep a delivery by Ravindra Jadeja. However, the ball caught the edge of the bat and went straight to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant's hands. India appealed for it, and the umpires went for a review, which showed that the ball had hit the shoe of Shakib and did not touch the ground. Hence, it was given out.
When the decision of the third umpire was confirmed on the big screen, the team erupted in joy as they got the big wicket. Virat Kohli was seen dancing in celebration.
Virat Kohli was terrific in the field as he picked two great catches in the slip to remove Najmul Hossain Shanto and Hasan Mahmud. India was spot on with their bowling and fielding on Day 2 as they took command of the game early on.
After India got all out for 376 runs, bowlers came up with a sensational effort with Jasprit Bumrah being the pick of the lot. The fast bowler drew the first blood for his team, and after that, he didn't look back as he ended up picking the four-wicket haul on the Chennai track, where spinners get more help.
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj picked two wickets each as India bundled out Bangladesh for 149 runs. The hosts took a healthy lead of 227 runs and decided to bat again. Virat Kohli will be key for his team in the second innings and would be hoping to get some runs under his belt.
