Here are 4 talking points of the day :
Kohli’s dismissal : Virat Kohli, Indian skipper, got out in an unusual fashion on day 4 of the first Test at Rajkot on Saturday. Kohli was sent back to the pavilion by Adil Rashid as Kohli got out hit wicket. The Indian captain went on the backfoot to play the ball on to the leg side and ended up hitting the stumps in the process. He failed to score big which could have seen India take the lead on day 4.
