On September 27, Team India will arrive in Kanpur for the commencement of the second Test match between India and Bangladesh. With this, Test cricket finally makes its long-awaited return to Green Park Stadium. The Indian squad was welcomed with open arms, despite some annoyance from Virat Kohli.

His response at the reception, shown on a video holding a phone and a tab, has gone viral. He was unable to shake hands when given a bouquet and said, “I only have two hands.”
