After early positive signs in the run chase, first innings' hero with the bat R Ashwin dismantled the Bangladesh middle order in the final session of Day 3. Openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam had notched up a 62-run partnership - Bangladesh's first-ever 50-run partnership in India - but both departed soon after.

Star Indian batter Virat Kohli's slump persisted in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, scoring only 6 and 17 in the two innings. India's top-order struggled, but remarkable partnerships helped them to a strong lead on day three.

Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli was in a jovial mood during Day 2 of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai.

After a rare failure in two consecutive outings, Virat Kohli hit the nets in preparation for the second Test. All Kohli could muster is 23 in two outings and with a long season coming up, that is bound to be concerning for the team.

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar compared Virat Kohli with cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar amid poor performance in Test against Bangladesh.

Virat is having a poor run of form across all formats this year. In 15 matches and 17 innings this year, he has scored just 319 runs at a sub-par average of 18.76, with just one half-century to his name and a best score of 76 made during the T20 World Cup final against South Africa.

Virat Kohli struggled to make a mark in the second innings of the Chennai Test, as he failed to notice an edge off his bat after being dismissed lbw.

Virat Kohli is arguably the best batter in the world today. He is certainly India’s best batter. As he approaches 36, one knows his career will maybe stretch to another four years, fitness and form permitting.
