Team India lost the toss and opened the first day of the third Test at the newly opened Narendra Modi Stadium, with R Ashwin and Akshar Patel giving the start to the team. England captain Joe Root opted to bat as Virat Kohli as the toss boss, but Ashwin and Axar duo proved their decision wrong. The duo took 9 wickets, which reduced England to 112. In reply, India scored 99-3 on the first day. Jack Leach fell to Captain Virat after scoring just 27. Virat’s fans were shocked during the batting when they reached the crease by breaking the Corona protocol to meet him.
Videos and pictures of this entire event are going viral on social media. In this, Team India’s hero returns to see him as soon as the fan gets close to Virat. This time, he instructs fans to stay away from him. Then it looks like Virat Kohli is smiling too. On the first day of the third Test, the team’s trusted batsman Cheteshwar Pujara stepped up to the crease when Jack Leach was LBW without opening an account. Virat put his feet on the pitch and bowled Leach 27.
