Former India captain Virat Kohli was dismissed for a run-a-ball six on his home Test return against Bangladesh in the first match of a two-game series in Chennai on Thursday. This was the 35-year-old's first Test match on Indian soil since March 2023 and he received a rousing reception from fans when he came out to bat at the M Chidambaram Stadium. However, he ended up playing a loose shot outside the off-stump to hand Bangladesh a dream start to the match in the morning session.

However, Kohli has gone viral for his pre-match act, instead of his dismissal. During the warm-up, Kohli pulled off a hilarious prank on spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who did not find a place in the playing XI.
Kuldeep was doing his pre-match stretching using a resistance band. However, Kohli grabbed him with the help of the band to drag him across the ground.
Kohli also got a helping hand from Rishabh Pant who was seen holding Kuldeep's legs while the former India captain was pulling the strings.
