The stump mic couldn't pick the chat and fans were left guessing about the chat.
India cricket captain Virat Kohli got engaged in a chat with England skipper Joe Root in the first Test at Chennai. Root, who is playing his 100th Test, had a friendly interaction during the 34th over of their innings after lunch.
England decided to bat on a seemingly easy pitch after winning the toss. They started off well with a sensible partnership between Rory Burns and Dom Sibley. But England lost two quick wickets on the score of 63 runs.
Root had to walk out to bat before lunch and negotiate few balls. The incident happened in the second session during the 34th over bowled by Ishant Sharma.
Kohli, standing at short mid-on, was seen having a chat with Root, who was standing at the non-striker’s end. Twitterati loved the camaraderie between the two captains.
Here's how the fans reacted to Kohli and Root's interaction:
