Welcome back to another edition of 10 things you missed. The winner of this contest gets nothing but the satisfaction of having a keen eye just like me. Alright, now let's see if you were able to spot all these things during the Day 2 of the first Test between India and England. Let's dive in.
When Joe Root was asked what he felt about Virat Kohli’s mic drop celebration this is how he responded.
A loving grandson relayed a message from his grandmother to David Lloyd, who is nicknamed Bumble, in the commentary box.
Who needs Dhoni when you have Ishant Sharma taking the spot on reviews! Today he survived twice by taking the review successfully.
Ishant Sharma spreads joy whenever he is on the field. After the gaffe today, he had the Indian skipper and England’s wicket-keeper Bairstow in the splits.
Towards the end of the Indian innings, Virat Kohli had to avoid singles in order to avoid exposing his tail-enders and this is what he is the return he got from the English crowd.
Did Virat Kohli just steal the celebration from Rohit Sharma? Food for thought. Brilliant century nonetheless.
Did you know this is the first Test century for Virat Kohli in England? Before this innings, he had scored only 134 runs at an average of 13.40. What a response from King Kohli!
Virat Kohli’s conversion rate is insane! How does he do it!?

16 Sunil Gavaskar (1978-1983)
14 Azharuddin (1984-1994)
When players take on captaincy, their scoring rate usually deteriorates. Not the same story for Virat Kohli!
Virat Kohli completes 7000 runs in International cricket as captain in just 124 innings. He is the quickest to the milestone surpassing Brian Lara who needed 164 innings.
