Welcome to the coverage of the one-off Test match between Bangladesh and India in Fatullah, starting on Wednesday.

Young Virat Kohli's proactive and aggressive style of leadership will be tested when India take on sprightly underdogs Bangladesh.

Kohli was anointed with full-time Test captaincy after Mahendra Singh Dhoni quit in the middle of the Australia series. The Bangladesh Test match will, in essence, be the start of life for the team -- which comprises cricketers of an average age of 26 -- without Dhoni.

For Kohli, as he starts a new chapter in his thus far glittering career, it will also be a test of his tactical acumen as he would need to decide on whether India will go with six batsmen and four bowlers, with a specialist wicketkeeper, or with an additional bowler to ensure that taking 20 wickets is not a problem.

On paper, it's another David versus Goliath battle as India have won six out of the seven Test matches between the two countries.

Bangladesh drew just one in Chittagong in 2007, with the help of rain.

Kohli will certainly not take the next door neighbours to be the proverbial 'banana peel' that minnows often turn out to be in such mismatched contests.

The task will be cut out for the Bangladeshi bowlers, led by their fastest pacer, Rubel Hossain, and wily all-rounder Shakib-al-Hasan, as they face the challenge to stop a formidable batting line-up, which is capable of posting a monumental score in helpful conditions.

Kohli, whose last Test series against the mighty Australians earned him a whopping 692 runs, including four centuries, would like to cash in on this opportunity to get another hefty score against his name.
