Rohit Sharma’s reaction 1st Test Day in Sri Lanka: Virat Kohli was taken aback by the sharp turn and was left staring at the pitch as the Sri Lankans celebrated.

A replay of the dismissal showed captain Rohit Sharma, who also appeared stunned.

Virat Kohli hasn’t scored a century in Test cricket since November 2019. But the former India captain hasn’t looked out of place. Since then, Kohli had played some good knocks and lost his wicket when no one expected him to. However, he was his usual focused self when he batted on day one of India’s first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali.

He was playing his 100th Test match didn’t matter because Kohli and Hanuma Vihari was looking to lead India to a strong position. Kohli mixed caution with aggression, hitting some big shots against spinners and pacers to reach the 40s.

Kohli was caught off guard by a delivery from left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya on his score of 45.

The flat trajectory of the ball forced Kohli to play the ball on the back foot. But he was able to react in time as the ball spun quite a bit and hit his off stump.

Kohli was taken aback by the sharp turn and was left staring at the pitch as the Sri Lankans celebrated. Rohit had been fired earlier in the day for 29. Rohit’s reaction demonstrated how much everyone on the Indian team wanted Virat to succeed in his 100th Test and go on to score a big score.

On the other hand, India is in a good position after Rishabh Pant scored a ferocious 96. As the hosts finished the first day at 257/6, with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin unbeaten at the crease.
