Bangla Tigers roar after being dominated in the entire match.
If there's one thing opponents the world over are aware of, it's to not rub Virat Kohli the wrong way. It brings out the best in the man, and sooner or later, he will punish you for it.
Ask Mitchell Johnson and the Aussies about it, they'll explain to you the grief they experienced after riling up Kohli when India toured Australia a couple of years ago. India's captain in all formats smashed four centuries in that Test series after Johnson and Co decided to get aggressive with him. Understandably, Michael Hussey recently suggested his countrymen to avoid getting on the wrong side of Kohli in the upcoming four-match Test series.
However, there is one team in world cricket that has perhaps not learned from the mistakes of the mighty Aussies. And that team, of course, is Bangladesh.
Never mind the thrashing they're receiving in the on-going one-off Test in Hyderabad, the Bangla Tigers decided to get rather boisterous while celebrating Kohli's wicket in India's second innings.
After dismissing the visitors for 388 and gaining a first innings lead of 299, India decided to bat again and not push for a follow-on. The plan was to bat till Tea on Day four on Sunday and set Mushfiqur Rahim's side a target of about 450.
Keeping that in mind, the Indian batsmen came out in an attacking mode and took their chances in search for runs. Openers Murali Vijay and KL Rahul perished in the process, however, Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli stitched together a small partnership with some attractive strokeplay.
Kohli's burst, though, didn't last long and he fell to Shakib Al Hasan for 38 off 40 balls with two fours and one six. But before he got out, the right-hander smacked Shakib for a stunning, flat six over mid-wicket in that same over. And in his attempt to repeat that stroke, Kohli ended up hitting straight to the fielder and getting caught out.
It was then that the Bangladeshi players chose to get offensive in their celebrations. Shakib clapped his hands violently and gave out a loud scream, while staring down at Kohli. Skipper Rahim, too, cheered his bowler with a roar. And even Mahmudullah, the fielder who took the catch, threw the ball hard at the ground.
Taken aback by the surprising reaction of his opponents, especially considering their hapless condition in the contest, Kohli could be seen mouthing a few angry words before he was egged off the field by Pujara and the umpires.
Well, Bangladesh should consider themselves lucky that they are playing just a solo Test against India this time around. Else, there's no doubt in the fact that Kohli would've returned the aggression with interest in the next match. With his words, as well as with runs from his bat.
