All 16 players of the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma sweated it out at the Chepauk ground for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The players were given rest on Sunday. After this, everyone came on the ground once again today. The Test series between India and Bangladesh is starting from September 19. After Chepauk, both the teams will play the second Test at Green Park in Kanpur.
Virat and Yashasvi arrived first
Virat Kohli was the first to come out to bat and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was practising in the nets next to him. Both these batsmen batted more against fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Virat will play test after January
Virat Kohli played his last Test for India against South Africa in early January. He took leave from the 5-match Test series against England. At the same time, Virat Kohli’s son was born.
Rohit is preparing against spinners
After Virat and Yashasvi, captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan arrived for practice. Sarfaraz joined the team only yesterday due to Duleep Trophy. Rohit batted more against spin bowlers during the practice session.
Bounce on the practice pitch
The bowlers were getting good bounce from the practice pitch. The Indian team will participate in two more practice sessions before the opening match of the two-match series. However, it is expected that the pitch will be helpful for the spin bowlers during the match.
Three spinners and two pacers are likely to play
The Indian team can include three spinners along with two fast bowlers in the playing eleven. The command of the fast bowling is likely to be in the hands of Jaspreet Bumrah along with Mohammad Siraj. At the same time, among the spinners, Akshar Patel may have to sit out.
Bangladesh is coming after defeating Pakistan
The Bangladesh team is in great form. The team won the two-match series against Pakistan 2-0 on the last tour. Before this, Bangladesh had never won even one match against Pakistan in a Test. This is the reason why the Indian team cannot take Bangladesh lightly.
