Team India has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh which is starting from 19 September. The first Test between these two teams will be played in Chennai. There is a continuous discussion about the playing XI of the Indian team for this first Test.

Before this Test match, reports are coming out that Akshar Patel may not get a place in the Indian playing XI. Actually, India’s captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir want to completely change the team’s lineup before the series.

India has announced its team for the first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The host team has four spinners. These four spinners are Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can be seen playing in the Chennai Test. However, Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the playing XI as the third spinner in the team.

Before the Chennai Test, a big report came out about Akshar Patel

Let us tell you that Chennai is the hometown of Ravichandran Ashwin. He knows the pitch here very well and this is the reason why Ashwin can be included in the playing XI of the first Test. Not only this, Ravindra Jadeja also has a lot of experience of playing in this venue and along with bowling and batting, he can also play an important role in the victory of the Indian team with fielding.

Apart from these two players, the Indian team will desperately need a main spinner and that is why Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the team as the third spinner. However, Axar Patel’s performance has been very good in the recent times. In the Duleep Trophy 2024, playing for India D, he scored 86 runs and 28 runs against India C.

Not only this, Akshar Patel also performed brilliantly in bowling. It will be very difficult for Gautam Gambhir to decide who should be included in the Indian playing XI in the first Test between Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.
