In what seemed like a surprising change behind the stumps, Virat Kohli donned the wicketkeeper’s gloves for an over as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni took an over’s break during the Bangladesh innings. Kohli, who has never kept wickets in any international match so far, stood a safe distance from the stumps but did his wicketkeeping duty without the pads. The reason for Dhoni’s absence was not known. It was the start of the 44th over when Kohli was seen wearing Dhoni’s gloves as medium-pacer Umesh Yadav came charging in to bowl to Nasir Hossain.
Dhoni was soon back in the 45th over to take charge during the final five overs as Kohli happily trodded back to his fielding position.
