During a training session before the series opener against Bangladesh, India’s star batter Virat Kohli showcased his immense power by smacking a colossal six that ended up causing a small portion of the wall at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium to break on Sunday. The ball, struck with such force, landed near the dressing room, creating a significant hole in the wall. This remarkable incident was captured and reported by Jio Cinema, who were present during the training.

The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has been rigorously preparing for almost a week for the highly anticipated two-match Test series against Bangladesh. This series holds great significance as Bangladesh enters with high confidence following their historic 2-0 Test series victory against Pakistan. Their triumph over Pakistan not only boosted their morale but also earned them a reward of BDT 3.20 crore from the interim government for their outstanding performance.

The Bangladesh team, under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto, is aiming to break their streak of never having defeated India in Test cricket. Their recent form has been exceptional, and many of their players are performing at their peak, posing a potential challenge for the Indian team.

On the other hand, the Indian team last played in this format earlier this year, from February to March, where they triumphed over England in a five-match Test series with a decisive 4-1 victory. Despite losing the series opener in Hyderabad, India made a strong comeback to dominate the rest of the series. Currently, India is at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table and is looking to maintain their dominance as they prepare for the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia later this year. This upcoming five-match Test series against Australia promises to be an intense battle featuring star players from both teams.

In related news, Shams Mulani recently credited his experience for his exceptional performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024, highlighting the importance of seasoned players in crucial matches.

As both teams gear up for this exciting series, cricket fans around the world are eagerly awaiting to see if Bangladesh can continue their winning streak or if India will assert their dominance once again.
