Team India and Bangladesh are currently busy playing the second Test at the Green Park in Kanpur. The game got underway on Friday (September 27).
The start of the game was delayed by the wet outfield. When the players finally took the field after the toss, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja decided to lighten up the mood in the camp by mimicking the unorthodox bowling action of their teammate Jasprit Bumrah.
Kohli was the one who took the initiative as he was seen imitating Bumrah's action while the pacer was standing beside him. Fielding coach Ryan ten Doeschate was also there and was seen smiling at Virat Kohli's antics.
The former India skipper also imitated Bumrah's walking style before Ravindra Jadeja joined the fun as well. The India allrounder was also seen showing Bumrah's unusual style of walking back to his bowling mark.

Virat Kohli Eyes Redemption:
Kohli will be looking to bounce back in the ongoing Test after failing to impress in the previous Test. Although India registered a comfortable win over Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the right-handed batsman had a forgettable outing with the bat.
Kohli failed to get going with the bat in both the innings. Playing his first Test at home this year, the veteran batsman was out for just 6 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, he once again failed to score big and had to depart for 17 runs.
India, however, had gone on to win the game by 280 runs to take an unassailable lead in the two-match series. After setting Bangladesh an improbable target of 515 runs, the hosts bowled them out for 234 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin starred with the ball in the second innings, taking 6 wickets. Before that, Ashwin had also scored a century in the first innings.
Talking about the ongoing game, India won the toss and opted to field first. It was first time since 2015 that India opted to field first in a home Test. Bangladesh were on 93 for 3 after 32 overs at the time of writing this report.
