From September 19, once again, Team India will step on the field in white jersey at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium. After a full 6 months, Indian players will play Test cricket and will take forward their campaign to reach the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time. This time Team India is facing Bangladesh, which is generally not considered a very difficult challenge, but this time the Bangladesh team, which won the Test series 2-0 in Pakistan, cannot be underestimated. On top of that, a big challenge is the month of September, which has never brought success for India in the Test matches played in Chennai.

Chennai did not support in September

2 test matches are to be played between India and Bangladesh, the first match of which is in Chennai. Although Team India is a contender for a clean sweep in this series, this time a challenge is expected from Bangladesh. Now how much challenge Bangladesh gives to Team India will be known only from the 19th, but Team India will definitely have to deal with the challenging history of Chennai in the month of September. Yes, Team India has never won in all the test matches played in Chennai in the month of September till date.

The first test match was played in Chennai in 1934 and since then a total of 34 test matches have been played. In this, the Indian team has won 15 tests, 11 were drawn and it has faced defeat 7 times. Only 3 test matches have been played on this ground in the month of September but the Indian team did not win even once. Out of these, 2 matches were drawn, while 1 match was tied. In September 1979, the match between India and Australia was drawn. Then in September 1982, the match with Sri Lanka was also drawn.

Will Rohit be able to change history?

Since 1986, no Test match has been played in Chennai in the month of September. That means Team India has not won a match in September but has also not lost a match. Still, considering the strong record of Team India on the Chennai ground, such a performance in the month of September is a bit surprising. Now captain Rohit Sharma has a chance to change this history. Rohit can become the first Indian captain who can end this strange series of September.
