After enjoying a small break following the first Test against Bangladesh, Delhi boys Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were on their way to Kanpur for the second Test and were spotted travelling together– on board a buggy to their boarding gate at the airport.
Head coach Gambhir and his two star players were the obvious centre of attraction as the buggy carrying its high-profile passengers moved through the airport premises.
The reaction of the fans to the video flooded in, making it go viral on the internet. While one fan said, “teeno bhai tabhi,” another reacted, “Bromance overloaded.”
Gambhir enjoyed a winning start in his first Test as India coach, as the hosts defeated Bangladesh by a mammoth 280 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai to take an unassailable 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
While Pant scored a century (109) in his comeback Test since the horrific car accident in December 2022, Virat had a poor outing with scores of 6 and 17 in the two innings.
‘Player of the Match’ Ravichandran Ashwin starred in his hometown with a hundred (113) and a six-wicket spell with his off-spin on the fourth day to take India to victory with more than a day to spare.
Shubman Gill (119 not out)was the third centurion of the match for India, while all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja contributed with a knock of 86 runs in a crucial 199-run partnership with Ashwin in the first innings, which bailed India out of trouble. Jadeja also took five wickets in the match.
The win further solidified India’s position at the top of the World Test Championship table.
