India is set to face Bangladesh in a two-Test series, with the first Test scheduled to take place from September 19 to 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, and the second Test from September 27 to October 1 at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released the Indian squad for the series, which marks the return of star batsman Virat Kohli to the red ball after a nine-month hiatus. Additionally, Indian star Jasprit Bumrah is making a comeback after the 2024 T20 World Cup.

As both players prepare for the series, a statement made by Bumrah about Virat Kohli’s fitness has gone viral on social media. When asked about who has the best fitness in the Indian team, Bumrah responded:

“I know whose name you are waiting for, but I cannot choose Virat Kohli. I am the fittest player in the Indian team. I am a fast bowler. He is a person who has been playing in the team for a long time. Virat also has fitness, but I am the fitter player than him,’ said Jasprit Bumrah.
