The Indian team started assembling in Kanpur on Tuesday for the second Test against Bangladesh, after taking an unassailable 1-0 lead in the two-match series with a dominating win in Chennai.
In a video floating on social media, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant could be seen being welcomed at the team hotel, which involved an ‘oops’ moment for the staff while welcoming the former.

Like it is usually seen, a group of people, presumably the top officials of the hotel, had assembled to welcome the players. Just when one of them presented a bouquet of flowers to Kohli and the batting legend accepted it with a ‘thank you’, another official wanted to shake hands with the batting icon.

But with a bag in one hand and the bouquet in the other, Kohli said: ‘Sir, do hi haath hain (I have two hands only),” and walked past them.
Before arriving in Kanpur, India had defeated Bangladesh by a mammoth 280 runs in the first Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai inside four days, with local man and veteran allrounder Ravichandran Ashwin starring with a century in the first innings and a six-wicket spell on the final day of the match.
Ashwin was named the ‘Player of the Match’ for his all-round show.

Among the other star performers were Pant and Shubman Gill, as both hit centuries to swell India’s lead past the 500-run mark. Ravindra Jadeja scored 86 in his partnership with Ashwin and took five wickets in the match.
India’s bowling spearhead, paceman Jasprit Bumrah, also took five wickets in the match, which included a four-wicket spell in Bangladesh’s first innings.
Kohli, however, had a poor outing with scores of 6 and 17 in his two innings.
