Virat Kohli, India’s brightest batter, is still not able to show his skills in international cricket. He could score only 23 runs during the recently concluded first Test against Bangladesh at Chennai. He scored only 6 and 17 runs in both the innings of the game. Kohli got LBW by spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the second innings after a chase of the delivery outside off-stump from pacer Hasan Mahmud in the first innings.
