Virat Kohli Calls for Reserve Day After Rain-Marred Fatullah Test
Virat Kohli's India drew with Bangladesh in the rain-hit Test match at Fatullah on Sunday.
Left frustrated by rain interruptions which scuttled the chance of an outright result against Bangladesh in the one-off Test in Dhaka, Indian captain Virat Kohli said it is not a bad idea to have reserve days for the longer-format games as well.
More than 250 overs were lost owing to frequent rain during the match which ended in a draw on Sunday, and Kohli said like in the case of ODIs, the concept of reserve days can be given a try in Tests. (Ashwin, Harbhajan shine in drawn Test)
"That is a very debatable question but there can be a thought given to that. You might add another day seeing the situation of the game," Kohli said in the post-match press conference. (India slip in Test rankings)
"If there is a possible result, there is no harm in giving the team, which is dominating, a chance to compete in three sessions and go for a win or earn a draw so that the deserving team can get a result. But I am not sure how the discussions would go on this," he added. (Cricket season during monsoon, a gamble)
