India Begins Test Series Against Bangladesh

India will commence a two-Test series against Bangladesh on September 19, aiming to secure their position in the World Test Championship and achieve a unique record of having more wins than losses in Test cricket for the first time. Currently tied at 178 wins and 178 losses, India could surpass this milestone with a victory in the opening match at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Star batter Virat Kohli is on the brink of breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record for the fastest player to reach 27,000 international runs, needing just 58 runs to achieve this feat. The Indian squad features key players like Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, while Rohit Sharma's underwhelming performance against Bangladesh in previous encounters raises expectations for improvement. Additionally, the series will be crucial for Kohli and other players as they pursue personal milestones and team success. The second Test will take place in Kanpur from September 27.
