An unseen video of former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli from the Sri Lanka tour has recently made waves on social media. The clip features Kohli dancing joyfully as he walks down a staircase before joining his teammates for a huddle, revealing his playful and carefree personality.
However, this cheerful moment contrasts with Kohli's lacklustre performance during the Sri Lanka tour, where he managed only 58 runs across three ODIs. The Indian team struggled overall, leading to a 2-0 defeat in the three-match ODI series—marking a historic win for Sri Lanka, their first bilateral ODI series victory over India since 1997, despite India’s success in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Kohli is gearing up to return to the field for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting September 19, 2024. In this series, he has the chance to achieve significant milestones. He is merely 152 runs shy of reaching 9,000 Test runs, a feat accomplished by only a select few, including legends Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. With 8,848 runs in 113 Test matches, Kohli is also on the brink of his 30th Test century, needing just one more to hit this landmark.
Interestingly, Kohli has yet to score a half-century against Bangladesh in Test matches—a record he could potentially break in the upcoming series.
