The ongoing third D/N Test match between India and England has so far gone the home side’s way despite India captain Virat Kohli losing the toss and having asked to bowl first. Given the match is being played with the pink ball, it was assumed that the ball will assist fast bowlers.
However, India surprised everyone by going in with three spinners in R Ashwin, Akshar Patel, and Washington Sundar as opposed to England playing just one spinner in Jack Leach.
Ishant Sharma opened India’s account by dismissing Dom Sibley for a duck in his 100th Test and then Akshar Patel got Jonny Bairstow for a duck on his first ball of the match. Though Zak Crawley (53) and Joe Root (17) hung around for 47 runs, Crawley fell to Akshar, while R Ashwin got the better of Joe Root.

As Ashwin removed the England captain, India skipper Virat Kohli was over the moon which was visible in his celebrations after the wicket fell. He decided to do the chainsaw celebration which is synonymous with his one-time Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate Dale Steyn.
The South African bowling great is known to perform this celebration after picking wickets and Kohli did the same as well, showing his aggressive side.
