Chennai (Tamil Nadu): In an extraordinary turn of events at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) on Sunday, September 15, 2024, former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli exhibited his raw power during a practice session. While preparing for the first Test match against Bangladesh, Kohli unleashed a ferocious shot that collided with the stadium wall, creating a significant, ball-shaped hole.
This incident was notably covered by broadcaster Jio Cinema, who were present to capture the team’s intense preparation in Chennai. The Indian cricket team has been rigorously training for a week ahead of their crucial encounter with Najmul Shanto’s Bangladesh squad.
The Indian team, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, is set to kick off their home season with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The visitors are coming off an impressive 2-0 victory over Pakistan on their home turf, achieved despite the challenging circumstances in their country. Following this triumph, Bangladesh’s captain Najmul Shanto announced that the team would donate a portion of their series-winning bonus to assist flood victims and support those affected by the student-led people’s movement. The total bonus amount to be donated is BDT 3.2 crore, approximately US$270,000, a gesture reflecting their commitment to aid their compatriots in times of need.
