Virat Kohli would be disappointed with how things went for him in the first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The senior batter made a return to Test side after missing the series against England and was expected to do well given his stunning record against Bangladesh, however, he could only muster 23 runs across two innings.
Kohli scored a brilliant hundred in the Pink-Ball Test against Bangladesh in 2019, but lost his magical touch following the hundred. Then came a phase where Kohli saw a significant dip in form and could not score a hundred for three years. He got the monkey off his back in the 2022 Asia Cup where he scored a hundred against Afghanistan. Kohli went to hit multiple centuries across formats and ended up as India’s leading run scorer in T20 World Cup 2022 and 2023 ODI World Cup.
Kohli has returned to his vintage best in white-ball formats, but he is yet to hit the strides in Tests. Given India's hectic Test schedule, Kohli's form is a cause of concern for team India, however, former Pakistan cricketer Ahmad Shahzad feels Kohli will overcome the lean match in the second Test against Bangladesh and score a century.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is on the cusp of history in the second Test against Bangladesh. If Virat Kohli can score 35 runs in the game, he will become the fastest player to score 27000 runs in international cricket. The record is currently held by Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved the feat in 623 innings. Kohli has so far played 593 innings so he has plenty of time left to break the record. The second Test will get underway on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
