The much-anticipated India vs Bangladesh 2024 Test series is set to kick off on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The two-match series will conclude with the second Test at Green Park, Kanpur, starting on September 27. Both matches will begin at 9:30 AM IST and are expected to provide exciting cricket action as India hosts their subcontinental neighbors.
India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will be looking to extend their dominance on home soil. With experienced players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah returning to the squad, India will be aiming to maintain their strong record in Test cricket, while also giving opportunities to emerging stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan. India’s formidable bowling attack, featuring Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin, will play a key role in dismantling Bangladesh’s batting lineup.
Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, will be eager to prove their mettle against India. With a balanced squad featuring senior stalwarts like Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, along with promising talents such as Zakir Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Bangladesh will be looking to challenge India and break new ground in their Test cricket history. Their spinners, especially Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam, will be crucial in countering India’s strong batting order on spin-friendly tracks.
