The Indian cricket team is all set to lock horns against Bangladesh in the 2-match Test series that will start on Wednesday (December 14) at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Ahead of the much-awaited series, former Indian captain and batting maestro, Virat Kohli looked in a fun mood in the net session. The upcoming Test series will be an extremely important assignment for Team India who will be without the services of Indian captain Rohit Sharma for the series opener in their hopes of reaching the 2023 World Test Championship final.
On Tuesday, during the training session, Virat Kohli took left-arm spinner Axar Patel to the cleaners. In the video going viral on the internet, Virat walked down the ground and smashed a stunning six on Patel’s bowling. Not just this, after that stunning shot, Virat made it a point to rub his effort in and was seen teasing and poking fun at Axar as both the players shared a laugh after their respective batting and bowling session.
The video of the same has been making rounds on social media. Watch it here:

Axar Patel is all set to play a big role for team India in the upcoming series in the absence of senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Patel will be seen leading the spin attack alongside the experienced Ravi Ashwin.
Talking about Virat Kohli, he is coming into the Test format riding high on confidence as he recently smashed his 72nd international century in the 3rd ODI match on Saturday at the same venue. Kohli will be trying his best to end his century drought of 3-years with a hundred in the upcoming series. Kohli’s last ton in Test came against Bangladesh in November 2019 at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
