Rohit has played only three innings in as many matches against Bangladesh in Test cricket, scoring just 33 runs with the best of 21 at an average of 11. Image Source : BCCI

The sample size is a bit small for the comparison since Rohit hasn't played a whole lot against Bangladesh in Test cricket and hence, Kohli is comfortably ahead.
