Talismanic batter Virat Kohli is set to be back in action in the red-format with Bangladesh’s first Test. India are beginning their Test season with a two-match Test series against their neighbours from September 19 in Chennai. Following this series, the two-time World Test Championship finalists will host New Zealand for a three-match series before heading to Australia for five matches, the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Apart from several names making their return, modern-day batting icon Virat Kohli will also be donning whites after a long gap of nine months. Notably, Kohli missed the entire England series due to the birth of his son, Akaay.
