As India prepare for their upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19, all eyes are on Virat Kohli’s much-anticipated return to the Test squad.
Kohli, who missed the five-Test series against England earlier this year, is back in action, bringing a significant boost to the red-ball team.
His inclusion in the 16-man squad, alongside Rishabh Pant, who returns after nearly 20 months, means more experience and strength are added to India’s arsenal as they aim to start the two-match series on a high note.
