The much-anticipated first Test match between India and Bangladesh will commence on Thursday, September 19, 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match will start at 9:30 AM IST each day and is scheduled to run until September 23.
The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has been preparing intensely for the series with training sessions at the Chepauk Stadium. Key players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and R Ashwin have been focusing on tackling Bangladesh’s spin attack, practicing on pitches offering bounce to prepare for both pace and spin challenges.
India is likely to field three spinners and two pacers for the Chennai Test, taking advantage of the pitch’s spin-friendly nature. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enters the series high on confidence after their successful tour of Pakistan.
This two-match Test series is crucial for both teams as they look to strengthen their positions in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25.
India, currently the top-ranked Test team, will aim to continue their dominance at home, while Bangladesh will seek to cause an upset and register their first-ever Test win against India.
