Bangladesh are coming into this series on the back of 2-0 whitewash of Pakistan away from home and will not be pushovers by any means Team India have an awe-inspiring record while playing Test cricket at home.
They have won 40 matches and lost just 4 over the last decade, led by their top batter and former captain Virat Kohli. But the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter has struggled to score runs against spin bowlers off late – averaging only 30 in his last 15 Tests at home. Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir accepted the fact that Bangladesh are coming off a brilliant Test series win over Pakistan, and added that India will not take the visitors lightly.
“We respect everyone. We don’t take any opposition lightly. We are going to go out there and play the brand of cricket that we want to play because that is what champions do.
They don’t look at the opposition,” Gambhir said on the eve of the first Test match on Wednesday. “They try to control the game, they try to play the way they want to play the game. So, congratulations Bangladesh for what they’ve done against Pakistan.
But it’s a new start, it’s a new series, it’s a new opposition as well for them,” said Gambhir. For India, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are expected to start ahead of Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel for the Chennai Test. Kuldeep Yadav is also expected to get the nod as third spinner in the Test along with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh are likely to stick with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib al Hasan as their main spinners with left-arm spinner Taijul Islam joining them.
