Taijul Islam took the internet by storm after he clinched the important wicket of Virat Kohli in the ongoing 1 st Test against India. After Shakib Al Hasan won the toss, he invited India to bat first. The Men in Blue were jolted in the very first session of Day 1 as the side lost three batters in Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
The 30-year-old left-arm orthodox got the first blood in Shubman Gill at the score of 20. The bowler then dismissed former skipper Virat Kohli LBW in the 20 th over of first inning. The star bowler put India on the backfoot after these two dismissals.
