IND vs BAN: Team India will take on Bangladesh in the upcoming two-match Test series, with the Test opener slated to be held on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The second and final Test will kick off on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. As the Indian team gears up for the opening Test at the spin-friendly Chepauk Stadium, all eyes will be on the bowlers who can exploit the conditions to better effect. Well, Chepauk has always been known for its dusty surface, which starts offering the turn as early as the second day's play, making it a paradise for spinners.
Let's take a look at three Indian bowlers who are set to thrive in these conditions. 1. Ravichandran Ashwin: Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the best spinners in Test cricket. The Tamil Nadu-born is the king of spin and Chepauk is his hunting ground without the shadow of a doubt. He has taken 516 wickets in 100 Tests and also has an outstanding record against Bangladesh as he has taken 23 wickets. Ashwin is only 9 wickets away from becoming India's leading wicket-taker against the Tigers and will be looking forward to achieving the feat in the upcoming series.
Moreover, Chepauk's slow-turning pitch plays right into his hands, which makes it quite easier for him to ruffle the batters' features. The Chennai surface would help The off-spinner - who will be playing at his home ground - will generate drift and sharp turn, which means the batsmen will constantly have to navigate the challenges, which won't be easy at all. 2. Ravindra Jadeja: Besides Ravi Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja has been India's go-to bowler on spin-friendly tracks.
Jaddu who is known for his quick arm action could come out on top against Bangladesh on the Chepauk track because his deliveries tend to skid and turn off the surface, which makes him a dangerous bowler on this surface. With 294 wickets under his belt, Jadeja is poised to trap Bangladesh's right-handed batsmen with balls that either stay low or spin away sharply. Overall, he has taken six wickets against Bangladesh in Tests. 3. Kuldeep Yadav: Kuldeep Yadav may be the least experienced of the three, but he is the X-factor for the Chepauk Test.
The left-arm wrist-spinner offers something unique, thanks to his unpredictable turn and bounce, which can come in handy in Chepauk. His wrist spin brings mystery into the game as his googlies will keep the Bangladeshi batsmen on their toes. With 53 wickets in just 12 Tests, the chinaman bowler has proven he can run through lineups, especially on turning pitches. He played just one Test against Bangladesh so far and has taken 8 wickets to his credit.
