Chennai, India: Former India captain Virat Kohli stole the show in the first Test against Bangladesh with his animated on-field demeanor, even performing a “naagin dance” during the opposition’s innings. However, on the fourth day, Kohli won hearts with a gracious gesture towards his teammate, Ravichandran Ashwin.
Ashwin, playing on his home ground, was the star of the match, scoring his sixth Test century to revive India’s innings and then taking a six-wicket haul in the second innings, equaling Shane Warne’s record for most five-wicket hauls in Tests.
As soon as Ashwin achieved this milestone, Kohli bowed down to congratulate him, a heartwarming gesture from the 35-year-old who had a relatively quiet game with the bat.
India dominated the match, thanks to Ashwin’s stellar performance, earning him the Player of the Match award. Indian captain Rohit Sharma praised Ashwin’s consistency, saying, “Every time we look up to him, he’s always there for us, whether with the bat or ball.”
This Test match was a testament to Ashwin’s unwavering dedication to the game and his contributions to Team India’s success. While Kohli’s on-field antics were entertaining, it was his respectful bow to Ashwin that truly resonated with fans, highlighting the camaraderie and sportsmanship within the team.
