The 2016 Boxing Day Test between Australia and Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground was remembered for Misbah-ul-Haq's bizarre decision to review a caught behind appeal when a Mohammad Amir delivery missed David Warner's edge by a mile. The Pakistan team was trolled badly for the incident but on Thursday Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim just about managed to take the worst DRS of the decade.

During 62nd over of Indian innings bowled by left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, Virat Kohli pressed forward to defend a good length delivery. The ball trickled to the short cover fielder after hitting the middle of Kohli's bat.  And just when the Indian skipper was getting ready to face the next ball, Rahim decided to review the delivery for LBW.

Kohli saw the funny side of things and failed to control his laughter while the commentators were left surprised. As it was expected, TV replays confirmed that the batsman was well and truly 'not out'.

The video of this DRS call soon flooded the cyber space and the Bangladesh captain was roasted for his judgement.

Kohli and opener Murali Vijay pulverised a hapless Bangladesh attack into submission with majestic hundreds as India reached a commanding 356 for three at the end of the first day of the one-off Test in Hyderabad. The Indian captain (111 batting) scored his 16th Test hundred in just over a session after Vijay (108) batted solidly in the company of Cheteshwar Pujara (83) to provide an ideal platform.
