Virat Kohli OUT, Chennai Crowd Still Cheers as Rishabh Pant Walks in | WATCH VIDEO

Ind vs Ban: Is it possible that Virat Kohli is out, he is walking back and the crowd still cheers? It happened! This strange thing happened on Thursday at the Chepauk in Chennai during the opening Test versus Bangladesh . Kohli perished early for six. He went for a drive outside the off-stump only to find a edge and get caught by the wicketkeeper. In an Indian venue you do not expect fans to cheer when Kohli is out and is walking back to the pavilion. But it happened, because young Rishabh Pant was coming out to bat. Pant is making a comeback to Test cricket after more than a year and that is why there was the roar.
