Indian cricket stars Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were seen engaging in a playful prank on their teammate Kuldeep Yadav during the warm-up session ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai.

The first Test between India and Bangladesh resumes India’s World Test Championship campaign after a six-month gap from red-ball cricket. With the Men in Blue eyeing a spot in their third consecutive WTC final, the series carries significant importance. The match also sees the return of Pant to Test cricket following his recovery from a near-fatal car accident in late 2022.

During the pre-match warm-up, Yadav was seen stretching using a resistance band when Virat Kohli decided to pull a prank. With the wicketkeeper-batter’s assistance, the star batter used the resistance band to playfully drag Kuldeep across the ground with the trio bursting into laughter.

The tourists won the toss and elected to field first. The hosts faced a challenging start to the Test match, losing early wickets in the first session. Kohli, who received a warm welcome from the Chennai crowd, was dismissed for just six runs off six balls. Despite this setback, India managed to recover, posting a score of 275/6 in 68.0 overs, thanks to vital fifty knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal (56 off 118), Ravindra Jadeja (51* off 76), and Ravichandran Ashwin (75* off 81).
