A Brief Flashback to the India-Bangladesh Rivalry
The Naagin Dance has a colorful past, especially during Bangladesh’s series against India. Their over-enthusiastic celebrations during the Nidahas Trophy led to some heated moments on the field. Kohli’s rendition of the dance brought those memories back for many fans, adding an element of humor to an otherwise intense Test match.
Despite his current dip in form, Kohli has always found ways to remain the heartbeat of the team, bringing energy and excitement to every game. While his scores in this match didn’t reflect his usual brilliance, his interactions with the crowd reminded everyone why he’s still such a beloved figure in the cricketing world.
Kohli’s return to Test cricket didn’t go as smoothly as expected, with scores of just 6 and 17 across both innings. However, he still managed to captivate the audience by keeping things lively on the field. While India was in the process of defending a massive target of 515 runs, Kohli turned the crowd’s attention his way, breaking out the Naagin Dance, seemingly poking fun at Bangladesh. This dance, often used by Bangladesh’s cricket team as a celebratory move, became one of the most shared moments online.
India’s Strong Performance
While Kohli’s dance went viral, India’s dominating performance on the field set the tone for the match. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant took center stage with brilliant centuries in the second innings. Gill’s unbeaten 119 and Pant’s composed 109 helped India declare at 287 for 4, giving Bangladesh an almost impossible target of 515 runs to chase.
By the end of the third day, Bangladesh found themselves struggling at 158/4, still needing 357 runs to avoid defeat. With India’s bowlers, particularly Ravichandran Ashwin, in top form, a victory for the home team looked almost certain going into the fourth day.
