Virat Kohli survives run-out scare during Ind vs Ban

Virat Kohli survived a run-out scare as the Bangladesh bowler missed an easy chance to send the Indian batsman back to the pavilion in the second Ind v Bang Test at Green Park in Kanpur.

In the first ball of the 19th over, Virat Kohli could have easily been taken out of the game but he had the green in his path. Kohli tapped into a slower attack from Khaled Ahmed and headed for a single. Rishab Pant initially reacted before sending Kohli back.

Virat Kohli had failed to get to the striker’s goal in time. In the meantime, all Khaled had to do was collect the ball and take the balls off. But instead he made a meal of it and missed the stumps as he tried to throw it away.
