Virat Kohli
Looking in good form in the second innings of the first Test between India and Bangladesh, Virat Kohli could have batted longer if he had opted for a review. On Day 2 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Kohli was on 17 runs when, in the 19.2 over, he was adjudged lbw by umpire Richard Kettleborough.

He consulted with Shubman Gill but ultimately decided against taking the review. The delivery from Mehidy Hasan Miraz clipped the on-side and beat him on the inside edge, hitting him low on the front pad adjacent to the off-stump. However, soon after he walked off, replays showed a spike on UltraEdge, indicating an inside edge, which even Kohli was unaware of.
Rohit Sharma sitting in the dugout expressed his anger while umpire Kettleborough was seen smirking after the replays were shown. Fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their frustration, questioning why he didn’t opt for the review if he had any doubts.
