New Delhi: Team India star batter Virat Kohli landed in Chennai from London to join the rest of the squad members for a pre-season camp ahead of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
He landed at the Chennai International Airport around 4 AM on Friday. Security was tight when he landed in Chennai as there were fans at the airport to catch a glimpse of the star batter. Kohli flew to London after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 and has spent most of his time in London with wife Anushka and two kids.
He played in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka but again went back as there was a long gap between the ODI series and the next Test series. Kohli last played a Test match for India during the series against South Africa. He missed the five-match home Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akaay.

India will look to qualify for the third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final and Kohli will be the key player for the team. After the Bangladesh Test series, Rohit and Co. will face New Zealand in the three-match home Test series in October and Team India will tour to Australia for a five-match Test series in late November.
The first Test of the series will be played in Chennai and the second Test will be in Kanpur from September 27. The Men in Blue are currently placed at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) table while Bangladesh is in fourth spot after defeating Pakistan by 2-0 in the Test series.
