Virat Kohli answers the players of the opposing team with both his mouth and bat on the cricket field. A similar scene was seen in the India-Bangladesh match being held at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium. There was a great altercation between Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan and Virat Kohli. Actually, Virat was batting in India's second innings. Shakib was repeatedly throwing yorker balls at him. Seeing this, the Indian batsman could not resist and he immediately compared him to Sri Lanka's great pacer Lasith Malinga.
Virat Kohli was seen sledding Shakib Al Hasan on the second day of the Chennai Test. Shakib was continuously bowling yorkers to him. So when his over was over, Virat told him that 'Malinga is ready, he is bowling yorker after yorker.' Shakib was shocked to hear this, then he replied something but his voice was not clearly captured in the stump mic. So it is not known what he said to Virat in return.
Virat Kohli and Shakib Al Hasan have flopped in the Chennai Test. Virat has returned to the Test after about 9 months. Its effect was seen on him. In the first innings, he repeated the old mistake. He went to play the ball outside off and got caught. In the second innings, he unfortunately became a victim of LBW. The ball hit his bat and the umpire gave him out on Bangladesh's appeal. Kohli also did not realize this and he returned to the pavilion without taking a review. In both the innings of this match, he could score only 23 runs in total.

On the other hand, Shakib Al Hasan, who bowled well in Pakistan, could not do anything special in Chennai. Shakib bowled only 8 overs in the first innings. During this, he was hit hard and he conceded 50 runs without taking any wickets. He could not do anything special for Bangladesh in batting as well. He tried to save Bangladesh in the first innings along with Mushfiqur and Litton Das but failed in this task. Shakib was out after scoring 32 runs.
