New Delhi: Star India batsman Virat Kohli caused a stir at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai while gearing up for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh on Sunday, September 15. In a powerful display of his batting prowess, Kohli unleashed a massive hit that crashed into a wall near one of the dressing rooms, creating a large oval-shaped hole in the process. The incident left spectators in awe of Kohli's strength and determination as he prepares for the intense competition ahead.
India and Bangladesh are going to play two Tests in Chennai and Kanpur between September 19 and October 1. India leads the rival, as they have won 11 out of the 13 Tests, with the remaining two being drawn.

The last Test series between India and Bangladesh played was in Bangladesh in 2022 when India won the series 2-0. After that, the teams will face each other in a three-match ODI series from October 6 to 12.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, last featured in India’s woefully disappointing series against Sri Lanka last month. At 35 years of age, it was a pretty passable outing that fetched him just 58 runs from three matches against Sri Lanka at below an average of 20.
The Men in Blue suffered a 0-2 series defeat with the first ODI ending in a tie.
Virat Kohli is itchy to return to the Test arena against Bangladesh, having missed the entire home series against England when this year began. The star batter has a good record against Bangladesh, averaging 54.62 with two centuries in six Test matches.
