India is set to take on Bangladesh [IND v BAN] in a two-match Test series, starting from September 19, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has been preparing intensively with training sessions focusing on tackling Bangladesh’s spin attack. The team has been practicing on pitches that offer bounce, preparing for both pace and spin challenges.

The Indian team is expected to play three spinners and two pacers, given the Chennai pitch’s spin-friendly nature. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav are expected to lead the spin attack, while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will handle the pace duties.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, enters the series after a successful tour of Pakistan, giving them a boost. However, they will face a strong Indian team, especially in home conditions where spin is expected to dominate. The IND v BAN series will be crucial for both teams as they look to strengthen their standings in the World Test Championship.
