Fans were seen cheering for the ever popular Kohli but the Indian skipper instead asked them to get behind the front-line pacer, who rewarded the team with two wickets off successive deliveries just before the interval. Shami dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan with his final two deliveries of the 54th over but couldn't take a hat-trick as he came back to bowl the second over of the final session. India though completed a team hat-trick as Ishant Sharma removed Liton Das with his very first delivery after the tea break.
