PREVIEW: Team India's (IND) much-anticipated home season is set to kick off with two matches of the Test series against Bangladesh, (BAN) which will commence on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The Men in Blue boast a formidable Test record at home, having gone undefeated for over a decade.
On the other hand, Bangladesh is coming off a historic 2-0 series win against Pakistan and will look to shake India's home dominance. The Rawalpindi Tests were not good for the home team as the Bangla Tigers handed them a defeat. Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men will be running high on motivation, but Team India's stature poses a big challenge to them.
In contrast, Team India has been a force at home, staying undefeated in their last 17 Test series. It's no rocket science that Rohit Sharma and his men will start the series as overwhelming favorites, but Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men would not make it easy this time.
The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium is traditionally known to favor spinners. Batters need to apply themselves to score big runs. With rain predicted, spinners will still have a say, but the moisture could initially help the seamers as well. The weather is expected to be rainy, which could influence the conditions, making it more challenging for batters and possibly favoring bowlers, particularly spinners.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a revelation in Indian domestic cricket, and his transition to international cricket has been seamless. With a solid technique and an aggressive mindset, Jaiswal has the potential to be a long-term prospect for India at the top of the order.
Virat Kohli has loads of experience and has scored the most runs against Bangladesh among the current Indian test players. Kohli has scored 437 runs in nine innings at an average of 54.62, including one double century.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain has been in great batting form recently, and he is getting better with age. He is the leading scorer for India in 2024. Rohit is someone who can play big innings.
