Confidence surged through the Indian side after their winning streak as they were sent in to bat first by Najmul Hossain Shanto. Openers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma started with a bang.
However, after Rohit was dismissed in the fourth over, Rishabh Pant joined Kohli to continue the charge, with the former RCB captain leading the way and pushing the score to 71/1 by the eighth over. Sadly, Kohli’s innings came to an abrupt end in the following over when Tanzim Hasan Sakib dismissed him.
On the first ball of the ninth over, Sakib delivered a slower ball to Kohli. The Bangladeshi pacer, coming over the wicket, bowled a 114.3 km/h off-cutter, expertly pitched on the off and middle stumps.
Kohli, attempting to hit the ball across the line, advanced down the pitch to create some space. Unfortunately, he misjudged the ball’s trajectory, which slipped under his bat and knocked over the stumps.

As a disheartened Kohli walked back to the dugout, a jubilant Sakib celebrated with an intense stare, his aggression palpable. This moment quickly ignited discussions on Twitter, with fans reacting to both Kohli’s dismissal and Sakib’s fierce celebration.
