The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is going to start from September 19. Its first match is to be played in Chennai. Meanwhile, BCCI has announced Team India for the first Test match. Rohit Sharma will lead the team. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are returning to the team. Apart from this, Virat Kohli and Jaspreet Bumrah are also returning from the break. Young Akash Deep and Yash Dayal are also part of the team.
Let us tell you that the Indian team will not make the mistake of taking the Bangladesh team lightly in this Test series, because Bangladesh has recently defeated Pakistan in a Test series in their own home. This is the first time in the history of Bangladesh Test cricket that the team has won a series in Pakistan. In such a situation, the Bangladeshi players are full of enthusiasm.
On the other hand, many players of Team India are playing in the Duleep Trophy. However, except KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, no other batsman has been able to show anything special yet. Akash Deep has bowled brilliantly in the first match, for which he has been rewarded and he has been selected in the Indian squad. Yash Dayal has also appeared in form.
