The stage is set for a riveting Test battle to commence as Team India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma take on a confident Bangladesh side in a two-match Test series, starting from September 19.

The Indian team are a force to reckon with, especially on their home soil and Bangladesh will have a tough job defeating the mighty force. For India, there are several key players who can decide the outcome of the series - Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, but there is another star player who has gone under the radar - Virat Kohli.

The former Test captain missed the last Test series for India due to the birth of his son, but prior to that was arguably India's best Test batter in 2023. The upcoming Test series provides the perfect platform for Kohli to start his redemption arc and a quest to achieve the 10,000 Test runs, which a player of his calibre deserves.

He loves playing against Bangladesh, be it any format, and hence, with the series coming up, we take a look at Kohli's record against the Tigers in Test cricket.

Chidambaram Stadium, where the first Test will take place is known to be a spinners' paradise, and yet Kohli has commendable numbers at the venue.

In 4 Tests, he has accumulated 267 runs, at an average of 44.50, including a solitary century and two fifties. He will look to continue the domination when the two sides collide in the first Test.
