Star batter Virat Kohli took Team India's nets to prepare for the 1st Test against Bangladesh, starting September 19. The 35-year-old is set to make his return to Test cricket after a hiatus of eight months, having last played in whites during a two-match Test series against South Africa in January.
He then missed the subsequent Test rubber at home against England, which India won 4-1 under the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma.
Kohli had opted out of the series due to the birth of his son Akaay. However, Kohli is expected to play a key role with India set to play 10 Test matches between now and January 2025.
Rohit and his men hosts Bangladesh in a two-match series, followed by another three against New Zealand, starting next month.
