Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that Virat Kohli was surprised seeing the turnout of the Chennai crowd on the morning of Day 1 of the 1st Test between India and Bangladesh. However, the crowd later turned up in big numbers to support the Indian team.

In the 2008 inaugural IPL season, Virat Kohli faced Deccan Chargers, where he scored two runs and took two crucial wickets. Bowling 3.4 overs, he recorded impressive figures of 2 wickets for 25 runs for RCB, demonstrating his all-round abilities.

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.
