Virat Kohli made a big mistake with the DRS during Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday. Kohli was batting well, having scored 17 runs from 36 balls with two boundaries. But then, a ball from Mehidy Hasan Miraz hit his front pad. The umpire gave him out, but Kohli wasn’t sure and had a quick chat with Shubman Gill. After talking, he chose not to review the decision and walked off, disappointing the fans.

Later, replays showed that Kohli had actually edged the ball, and if he had reviewed, the decision would have been overturned.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma was clearly upset that Virat Kohli didn’t use the DRS, and his reaction quickly went viral on social media.
