On Sunday, November 24, the Jasprit Bumrah-led Team India extend their lead in the first Test, underway at the Optus Stadium in Perth. After putting 218-run lead at stumps on Day 2 of the first Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s crucial 161-run knock, along with a77-run knock from KL Rahul, helped India put 300-plus runs lead on the board.
However, Devdutt Padikkal’s (25 off 71) stay in the middle was comparatively short lived, it was then Virat Kohli who took the guards to carry forward the momentum and post a 405-run lead at Tea on the third day. During Kohli’s stay in the middle at the Perth Stadium, he was seen unleashing his prowess, hitting one six and two boundaries in his 74-ball stay so far.
Virat Kohli’s six hits steward at Perth Stadium; leaves Indian batter worried
Kohli, who is looking in good knick in the middle, hit Mitchell Starc for a maximum in the 101st over of the India second inning. Kohli flashed the ball for a maximum on the fifth delivery of the 101st over. Just at that time, the six hit a steward on his head, who was sitting on the sidelines. Although the game saw a slight pause at that moment, Kohli was even left worried.
Moreover, Nathan Lyon, who was positioned in close quarters, also ran to check on him, while the Australian physio was quick to attend to him and perform a concussion test. The video of the incident is doing the rounds on social media, however, all seems fine at this time.
