IND vs BAN: Team India will be seen on the field once again after a long break of 42 days. The Indian cricket team played its last match against Sri Lanka on 7 August. Since then the players were on rest or busy in some domestic cricket. Now, Team India is all set to play the Test series against Bangladesh, and the first Test match will be played in Chennai on 19 September.

Rishabh Pant's return

The most special thing in this match is that Rishabh Pant is making a comeback in the Indian Test team after a long injury break. This will be Pant's first Test match, which will be played after a car accident in December 2022. However, he has already made a comeback in the T20 team. Pant's return will give the team a strong wicketkeeper batsman, who will not only bat solidly against the bowling attack but will also contribute to his strategy on the field.

Virat Kohli's comeback

Virat Kohli is also making his comeback with this Test match. He played his last Test match against South Africa on 4 January 2024. Since then, Virat has played for Team India in both ODI and T20 formats, but has stayed away from the Test format. Young players got a chance in Virat's absence, but now Kohli's return will infuse a new energy in the team.

Virat close to record

If Virat Kohli scores just 58 runs in the first Test against Bangladesh, he will get close to a special achievement. He has so far scored 26,942 runs in international cricket. If he scores 58 runs, he will touch the 27,000 run mark and become the fourth batsman in the world to achieve this feat. Earlier, Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting have achieved this feat.

If Virat achieves this figure in just 592 innings, it will be the record of the fastest 27,000 runs by any batsman, which will be another milestone for him.

Expectations and excitement

The return of star players like Pant and Kohli in this new beginning of Team India is not only important for the team, but it is also an exciting occasion for the fans. All eyes will be on these players, who will try to win the hearts of the audience not only with their game but also with their hard work and dedication.

Expectations are very high for the performance of the Indian team in the upcoming Test series, and it will be interesting to see how these stars start the new chapter of their cricket career.
