The first match of the 2 match test series between India and Bangladesh will be played from 19th September. Both the teams will face each other at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Team India has started its preparations for this series. Indian players are sweating it out in the nets. On the other hand, Bangladesh team is coming after clean sweeping Pakistan in its own home. In such a situation, Team India will not want to take Bangladesh lightly at all, a special plan has also been prepared for this.

Chennai's pitch plan revealed

A big update has come out regarding which pitch will be used in this match to be played between the two teams.

Generally, black soil pitch is used in Chennai, which helps spinners more. At the same time, Bangladesh players are also used to playing on black soil pitch. This pitch is usually slow. In such a situation, it is believed that the match will be played on a red soil pitch in the Chennai Test.

The red soil pitch can prove beneficial for fast bowlers. Along with this, batsmen can also get help. In the year 2019 also, Team India used the conditions favorable to fast bowlers in Indore and Kolkata during the Test series against Bangladesh.

Then India's spinners took only five out of 40 wickets of Bangladesh. It is believed that Team India can do something similar once again. However, there are still five days left for the Test, so a final decision can be taken on this soon.

Team India players practiced hard

Team India has started the camp at MA Chidambaram Stadium from Friday. Team India's first camp was held on a black soil pitch. During this, Team India chose to use an additional center-wicket on the main ground. Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli batted on two nets and faced spinners on a black soil pitch.

Apart from these players, Jadeja, Ashwin, Bumrah and Siraj performed very well with the bat. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Akashdeep and Yash Dayal also worked hard on the first day of the camp.
