Meanwhile, ahead of the series, head coach Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli talked about a lot of things, including their spat, the 2011 World Cup and their cricketing journey so far. Gautam Gambhir opened up about Virat Kohli’s success in international cricket. The head coach believes that King Kohli has established a legacy that will be followed by generations to come. Gautam Gambhir said these things in praise of Virat Kohli In a video shared by BCCI, head coach Gautam Gambhir also talked about Virat Kohli’s innings played against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2012. According to Gambhir, this is the best innings played by an Indian in ODI cricket history. In that match against Pakistan, Gambhir was out on zero while chasing a target of 330 runs. Virat changed the entire game by scoring 183 runs while batting at number three and Team India registered a spectacular victory by 6 wickets in the match. Gautam Gambhir said in the video, I saw you make your debut. Played a very good, crucial innings on a difficult wicket against West Indies in the Champions Trophy in South Africa (England), against a very good attack, and then probably the best ODI innings played by an Indian. This is not entirely based on any point of view, because players have scored double centuries. This is the best innings I have seen, chasing 300+ against Pakistan… So you have come a long way. These are really special things and the most important thing is how you have taken Indian cricket forward, the legacy you have left for the next generation. Let us tell you, in December 2009, when Virat Kohli scored a century in the ODI match against Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir played an innings of 150 runs in the same match and was selected as the Player of the Match. But in the post-match presentation, Gambhir handed over his award to young Virat. Gambhir and Virat have played a big role in helping Team India win many big matches. But both of them have made headlines due to their clashes on the field. However, now all things are in the past and now both are working together for the betterment of Indian cricket.

Suresh Raina & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: After a nine-month break from Test cricket, Virat Kohli will be seen playing for the first time in the Bangladesh series. Team India has to play 10 Test matches in the coming few months and all these matches are going to be important keeping in mind the World Test Championship. If India has to play the final of this WTC cycle, then Virat’s form in these 10 Test matches is going to be very important for the team. Virat Kohli will rain runs in Bangladesh series- Suresh Raina Before the start of the series, former veteran batsman Suresh Raina has made a big prediction. Raina believes that Virat Kohli’s bat will do well in the upcoming series. Quoted by Times of India, Raina said, “Rohit Sharma is a great captain. He has also proved this. Under his leadership, Team India has won the T20 series. However, everyone’s attention will be on Virat Kohli’s return to Test cricket. Kohli likes Test cricket a lot, he also respects this format.” Raina says that Team India has to play a total of 10 matches before the final match of the World Test Championship. Here Virat Kohli’s bat will work well and he will prove to be decisive for the country. In the upcoming series, the Indian team has to face teams like Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia. Kohli’s performance will improve further against the good bowling attack of the opposition team. Suresh Raina said that Virat Kohli excels under pressure. He will be the center of action during the tournament. The opposition team definitely has a strong fast bowling lineup, but you should remember that Kohli has shown his full potential against bowlers like Haris Rauf. He likes challenges and I am sure he will shine in front of the people in the upcoming series. India will be eyeing another WTC final India currently top the WTC points table with a win percentage of 68.52%. However, they have lost the last two consecutive WTC finals against New Zealand and Australia. India will look to secure their place in the final again by registering series wins in the upcoming series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia.
Jaiswal, Sarfraz and Jurel have everything it takes to become a top player: Rohit Sharma
These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are alert and who are responsible as well – Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian captain Rohit Sharma expects Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel to be successful in all three formats of the game. Especially for Jaiswal, who is the second leading run-scorer in the ongoing World Test Championship. Jaiswal scored 1028 runs in nine matches at an average of 68.53, which is an excellent figure. On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel performed significantly for India in their last Test series against England. In view of that, both of them have got a place in the team for the Test series against Bangladesh. However, after the return of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, their place in the playing eleven is not confirmed. Rohit hopes that they will become top players for India in the future. He also said that all three are clear about their targets and are hungry to perform well for India. The Indian captain said a big thing about Jurel, Sarfaraz and Jaiswal You don’t need to talk much to them. They are all new to Test cricket – Jaiswal, Jurel and Sarfraz. We have seen what they can do with the bat. They have everything that is needed to become a top player for India in all three formats, Rohit said in the press conference. “Over time we have to prepare them and keep talking to them, which we will do. I think they know what they have to do. They are very hungry to play for India and they are also hungry for success,” he said. Rohit further said, when we played last time (against England), Jaiswal did very well in the series. Jurel showed what he can do with the bat. Sarfaraz too – fearless, did not worry much about what will happen outside. These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are cautious and at the same time responsible. I think we have a mix of this, which is a good sign.

Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.
