The Indian cricket team is set to be in action when they take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series, which starts on September 19. Currently sitting at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 standings, India would hope to put on a good show at home and boost their chances of making it to a third successive final. Rohit Sharma and his men will start as absolute favourites, given their recent record in Test cricket and it will take some effort from Bangladesh to beat the number one ranked side at home. The last time India and Bangladesh was in 2022/23 when the Men in Blue had won 2-0. India vs Bangladesh 2024 Full Schedule, Free PDF Download Online: Get IND vs BAN Test and T20I Series Fixtures, Time Table With Match Timings in IST and Venue Details.

Earlier this year, Rohit Sharma and his men outclassed England at home in what was a fascinating five-match Test series. Since that series, India have not played Test cricket yet with assignments like the T20 World Cup 2024 and tour of Sri Lanka following. Among others, one of the players who fans would be looking forward to watching in action is Virat Kohli. Let us take a look if Kohli would be participating in this series. On Which Channel India vs Bangladesh 2024 Series Will be Telecast Live in India?

Will Virat Kohli Play in India vs Bangladesh Test Series?

Virat Kohli will likely compete in the India vs Bangladesh Test series. Earlier this year, Kohli featured in India's tour of South Africa but subsequently missed the five-match Test series against England due to personal reasons. The India vs. Bangladesh series is thus set to be Kohli's comeback in Test cricket, and it will be interesting to see how he performs. The Indian cricket team squad has not been selected yet, and players in contention would look to impress in the Duleep Trophy to be picked. Kohli though, has been exempted from competing in the tournament and is likely to make his return to the Test side for the Bangladesh series.
