The test series between India and Bangladesh is starting from Chennai. The match is to start from September 19 and both the teams are practicing hard to perform well in it. By the way, an interesting news has come out before this match. According to the report, after practicing on the red soil pitch for two days, the players of India and Bangladesh practiced on the pitch made of black soil on Tuesday, which is considered helpful for spin bowlers. It is being told that the test match in Chennai is to be played on red soil, but then why is Team India practicing on the black pitch?
Whether the match is played on red soil or black soil, the Chennai heat will help spinners from the third day onwards. As the match progresses, the pitch will become rough and as a result the ball will turn a lot. In such a situation, the importance of spinners will increase as the match progresses and this may be the reason why batsmen are practicing on pitches that are helpful for spinners.
If the ball turns too much, then it can cause problems for the Indian batsmen. Recently, Team India's assistant coach Ryan Ten Descate had admitted that the Indian batsmen had failed to deal with the challenge of spin on the Sri Lanka tour.
Now Bangladesh's spinners can trouble Team India. Mehdi Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan are very experienced and they also like such conditions. This is the reason why Team India's batsmen can take part in the extra practice session on Wednesday.Looking at the weather and pitch of Chennai, it is clear that both the teams can field three spinners in the first test. Apart from Ashwin and Jadeja, the Indian team can give a chance to either Kuldeep Yadav or Akshar Patel.
On the other hand, Bangladesh can play Shakib, Mehdi and Taijul Islam in the playing eleven. On the other hand, Bangladesh can play Shakib, Mehdi and Taijul Islam in the playing eleven.
