Kohli struggled in the first Test, managing only 23 runs across two innings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. However, he rebounded in the second Test, scoring 47 in the first innings and an unbeaten 29 in the second at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. A video of Kohli at the airport has since gone viral.

In the first innings of the second Test, Bangladesh was bowled out for 233, with Mominul Haque scoring an impressive 107 not out. India responded with an aggressive declaration at 285/9 in just 34.4 overs, driven by half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (72) and KL Rahul (68). Bangladesh struggled in their second innings, folding for 146 and setting India a modest target of 95 runs. Jaiswal contributed a crucial 51, helping India secure a convincing seven-wicket victory.
The second Test was heavily impacted by rain, with Day 1 lost after only 35 overs, and both Days 2 and 3 completely washed out. However, India adopted a bold approach in the remaining days to secure the win. Rohit noted in the post-match presentation the teamās readiness to embrace risks to capitalize on the opportunity, emphasizing the bowlersā efforts on a challenging pitch.
