Watch: Virat Kohli Disappoints On Home Test Return; Rohit Sharma's Reaction Says It All

Virat Kohli failed to impress on his home Test return as he was dismissed for just 6 on Day 1 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai on Thursday. This was Virat's first Test match on Indian soil since March 2023 and he received a rousing ovation when he came out to bat at the M Chidambaram Stadium. However, he ended up playing a loose shot outside the off-stump to hand Hasan Mahmud his third wicket of the match. The delivery went flying off Virat's outside edge and wicket-keeper Litton Das made no mistake in completing the catch behind the stumps. Rohit was visibly upset by the developments as India lost three wickets early in the first session.

"Can Take On Any Spin Unit": Gautam Gambhir On India's Batting Lineup

India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday expressed confidence in his batting unit's capability to negate quality spin bowling, a challenge they are expected to face in the Test series against Bangladesh. India batters, including star batter Virat Kohli, struggled against Sri Lankan spinners in the ODI-leg of the recent away white-ball series, leading to a tinge of apprehension ahead of the Bangladesh rubber. "Our batting unit has so much quality that it can take on any spin unit. There is a lot of difference between ODIs and Tests. It's all about the mindset and working and strengthening your defence and once you have it, then you play around it," Gambhir told the media on the eve of the opening Test.
