Bangladesh will enter this series after registering a historic 2-0 win over Pakistan, while this will be Team India’s first Test match after defeating England 4-1 in the Test series at home in January-March earlier this year.

Kohli’s return to Test cricket

Virat Kohli will return to the Test team for the first time since the South Africa tour in January this year. He did not play in India’s home Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akay. In such a situation, Kohli will now have a great opportunity to make his mark in red-ball cricket. Kohli’s form has not been very good this year. Kohli was also seen struggling in the T20 World Cup. Runs did not come from his bat even on the Sri Lanka tour.

Apart from Virat, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also reached Chennai. A video of Rohit coming out of the airport has surfaced. In the video, the captain is seen at the airport amid tight security.
