T20 WC: Shakib Al Hasan baffled as Virat Kohli asks for a no-ball from umpires, duo involved in brief chat

India have locked horns with Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02), at the picturesque Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue posted a competitive 184/6 riding on KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 44-ball 64.

After Rahul's fluent knock, the onus fell on Kohli who held one end and took the one-time winners to a score near the 200-run mark. However, a minor controversy broke during the 15th over of the Indian innings.In the final delivery of the 15th over, pacer Hasan Mahmud banged in a short ball it rose on to the right-hander. Kohli immediately gestured at the umpires for a no-ball. The on-field umpire Marais Erasmus gave it a no-ball but Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan wasn't impressed with Kohli's appeal.
