Ind vs Ban: Eyes would be on Virat Kohli when India take on Bangladesh in the Test series at home. Kohli, who is arguably the best batter of the generation, would be returning to the side after a break and hence it would be interesting to see the kind of form he hits. He would be an integral part of the Indian set-up in the months to follow as there is the series against New Zealand and Australia that follow after the games with Bangladesh.

FEATS KOHLI CAN ECLIPSE
9000 Test Runs: The premier Indian batter is 152 runs away from amassing the 9000-run-mark. It is a massive feat because that would make him join an elite club of cricketers featuring Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and many more. In 113 Test matches, Kohli has 8848 runs to his name. He has got these runs at an average of 49.15. He also has 29 Test centuries.
30-Test Centuries Club: In 113 Tests, Kohli has 29 centuries. He needs one more century to get to number 30. With his 30 Test centuries-feat, he will join greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Don Bradman among others. The number is surely a testament to his dominance and consistency.
