Ahead of the opening Test match against Bangladesh, India’s Virat Kohli appeared to be playing at his best in the training nets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Beginning on September 19, India and Bangladesh will play two Test matches.
Virat Kohli was seen batting in the nets in a video that has gone viral. The video also included highlights from India’s second day in the Chennai camp. It made special emphasis of the six that Kohli struck that shattered the stadium wall.
Afterwards, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India, was also spotted conversing with Kohli. Following the practice, they both discussed Kohli’s batting.
Virat Kohli aims to make history
For Virat Kohli, this series may be really memorable. Remarkably, the first Test between India and Bangladesh is scheduled to begin on September 19 in Chennai, while the second Test is scheduled to begin on October 27 in Kanpur.
With 26,942 runs achieved in various formats, it might be extremely remarkable for Kohli, the best batsman in the game. He is getting close to reaching the 27,000-run mark, and he will shatter Sachin Tendulkar’s record by being the fastest hitter to do so.
It is noteworthy that Kohli has played 591 innings and is just 58 runs shy of the record, whereas it took 623 innings to achieve 27,000 runs. In the 147 years that international cricket has been played, Kohli will become the fastest batsman to achieve the 600-inning mark if he scores 58 runs in his next eight innings.
