WATCH: Virat Kohli’s monstrous six breaks wall at Chepauk stadium during India's practice session ahead of 1st Test

Virat Kohli failed to shine in the recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka which was his first outing since India's historic T20 World Cup victory in June. He will be back in action after a gap of over a month as India are set to host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series starting on September 19 at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.

Kohli last played a Test match against South Africa in January. He opted out of the subsequent England series at home due to the birth of his son. As the 35-year-old gears up to make his Test return after eight months, he looks set to make a spectacular comeback.
