IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli breaks a wall in Chennai during India nets (Watch Video)

The Indian cricket team’s batting superstar Virat Kohli is all set for his explosive comeback to the field ahead of the much-awaited two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

His comeback in whites has already been creating headlines on the internet. The Indian maestro unleashed one of his trademark shots in a practice session at Chennai's iconic Chepauk Stadium ahead of the Bangladesh Test series, but this time, it wasn't just the ball that carried the wound.

Virat Kohli's power shot shatters the wall in Chepauk ahead of the Bangladesh series

One of the wall panels near the dressing rooms bore the brunt of Kohli's ferocious strike, leaving a massive hole, leaving one and all in awe.

The dashing right-hander sent a fierce warning to the Bangladesh cricket team that he is ready to dominate them in the Test series at home.

The scene of his extraordinary hitting at the nets set social media abuzz. The former Indian captain had faced Bangladesh in the longer format of the game last time, and he delivered a masterclass, hammering two centuries in just six games.

Under home conditions, his performances have been nothing short of legendary, boasting a staggering average of nearly 95 against the Tigers.

The Chepauk incident could just be a signal that Kohli is ready to unleash his full potential once again against Bangladesh in the upcoming Test series.

With the picture of the event making the rounds across social media, fans are amazed, thinking that if a wall can't contain Kohli’s power, how can Bangladesh hope to?

With 8,848 runs already to his name, the Indian stalwart was on the cusp of crossing the monumental mark of 9,000 runs in Test cricket in the upcoming Test series at home against the Tigers.

This series against Bangladesh could be where he reminds the world why he's the best in the business.

However, Kohli had a forgettable ODI series against Sri Lanka, where he was completely out of form, scoring 58 runs in three games.

However, with the form Kohli is showing in the next, it seems that he is going to make the most of the home conditions to make a strong comeback with the bat.

Here are the squads for the India vs Bangladesh Test series:

India squad:

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Yash Dayal.

Bangladesh squad:

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Syed Khaled Ahmed, Jaker Ali Anik, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Kumer Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, and Nahid Rana.

Notably, the second Test between India and Bangladesh will be played in Kanpur from September 27. Currently, India is leading the WTC 2023-25 points table with a points percentage of 68.52.

The Indian cricket team will next face New Zealand and Australia in Tests after the Bangladesh series.
