The second match of the ICC World Test Championship series between the Sri Lankan cricket team and the Indian cricket team is currently happening at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Royal Challengers Bangalore play their home matches at this venue. Virat Kohli was the captain of RCB for many years.
While Virat receives a loud cheer at every venue where he comes out to play, the love from Bengaluru is special. As mentioned ahead, it is because of Virat Kohli’s long association with RCB. Kohli joined RCB in 2008 and has been with the franchise ever since.
Speaking of Virat Kohli, he is playing his 101st Test match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. India have done well in this game so far. The players are enjoying themselves in the middle. During the Sri Lankan team’s first innings, the camera focused on fielder Kohli for a second.
