New Delhi. The 2 match test series between Team India and Bangladesh will start from 19th September. The first test will be played on the Chennai ground. All the players have reached Chennai and have started practice. Indian pitches have always helped spinners. In such a situation, it will not be easy for the batsmen to score runs in this series.
This is Gautam Gambhir's first Test series as a coach. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India plays in the Test format under his leadership. The Indian team led by Rohit Sharma is already working hard to make its preparations more solid, while on the other hand, after defeating Pakistan in its home ground, the Bangladesh cricket team will be full of confidence to challenge India.
The team led by Nazmul Hussain has reached Chennai with high morale. The Bangladeshi captain has expressed hope of a good performance in the series against India. However, in the Test series, Team India has had a onesided edge and for Bangladesh, defeating India in Tests is a 'hard task'.
Before touring Pakistan, Bangladesh had never defeated them in a Test match but this time Bangladesh pulled off a big upset and won the series as well. In such a scenario, even Rohit Sharma and company cannot take the Bangla Tigers lightly.
Experienced and aged players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R. Ashwin are in the last phase of their career. However, all three players have the ability to trouble the big giants on the basis of their fitness and form. On one hand, both the batsmen are the main batsmen of Team India, while specialist offspinner Ashwin can be the biggest problem for the Bangladeshi batsmen. Team India will be keeping an eye on the performance of these three players.
Indian fast bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is once again all set to become the 'troubleshooter' for Team India. The responsibility of providing initial success will once again be on his shoulders. While wicketkeeperbatsman KL Rahul will also be eager to return to action. This series is part of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India is currently at the top of the table, and will surely want to strengthen its position with a big win.
