During the ongoing first Test between India and Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and umpire Richard Kettleborough were seen sharing a laugh during India's bowling on Saturday. 

The 35-year-old was seen engaged in a happy conversation with Kettleborough in a viral video. The exchange comes just a day after a controversial LBW decision involving the same pair.

Bangladesh ended Day 3 with a score of 158/4 

On the previous day, Kettleborough had adjudged Kohli out LBW, a decision that later proved to be incorrect as replays showed a faint inside edge before the ball struck Kohli's pads. He could have got the decision overturned had he opted for a review, however, the batter chose not to use the Decision Review System (DRS) after a brief consultation with his batting partner Shubman Gill.

Kohli has been struggling with form in this Test match. He scored only six runs in the first innings and 17 in the second. These low scores are particularly significant as he returns to Test cricket after skipping the five-match series against England earlier this year due to personal reasons.

Meanwhile, India set a formidable target of 515 runs for Bangladesh, thanks to centuries from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. The tourists started their chase, and ended Day 3 at the score of 158/4, with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (51*) and Shakib Al Hasan (5*) to resume batting on the next day.
