India are two wins away from leveling their longest unbeaten run in home Tests - 20, achieved between 1977-1980. The current streak stands at 18 with the side’s regal form witnessed them registering seven victories against New Zealand and England in the last eight matches in the ongoing ‘India Cricket’ season. Virat Kohli’s India showed a huge maturity to comeback from the dire strait to win Test matches unlike the other Indian side, something that made them apparent from the other sides in the world at the moment.  They have been unrelenting on all teams that landed on their shores in this season. The testament is that they won last two matches by innings margin against an experienced England side despite conceding 400 plus runs. All of those stats looked not only immensely breathtaking but also could justify the tag of ‘invincible’ at the home.
Bangladesh have won just three of their 44 overseas Test matches - two in the West Indies in 2009 and one in Zimbabwe in 2013. They are coming off a poor tour in New Zealand in which they lost eight matches on the trot. Bangladesh though of late have proved they don’t remain an easy opponent in overseas tour, they still have the shortcomings. The exploits of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim at Wellington are still fresh in the memories as Bangladesh posted a total in excess of 600 runs in an away Test. However, inconsistency and quick disintegrations are Bangladesh’s traits and the visitors crumbled to an embarrassing loss, surprising the fans across the world.
While the two sides are coming off from different route ahead of their first ever bilateral encounter in cricket’s conventional format, the talk of ‘invincibility’ of the Kohli-led India is supposed to be stronger.
Kohli has evolved to be a best batsman of the world from a batsman of mediocre status. Like his batting, in personal life he lately has turned to be a clam and generous person from a short-tempered and angry persona.  He however remained as aggressive as he was on the field in the past. But at the same time, the number of his admires have been increasingly growing up because of the way he presented a philosophical view on the game and his utter respect on the oppositions.
“It’s not my job to make headlines, not my job to provide any headlines in press conferences either. We want to focus on our processes and play good cricket. No team is invincible, no team is unbeatable. Cricket – there are always opportunities for both sides at different stages of the game. Test matches are more so,” said Kohli in reply of his thought on his team’s invincibility.
