India, Bangladesh Begin Two-Test Series September 19

England's Moeen Ali made history on July 31, 2017, by becoming the first English spinner to achieve a Test hat-trick since 1938, securing a crucial 239-run victory over South Africa at The Oval. Bangladesh is preparing for a two-Test series against India starting September 19, having never won a Test against them, and notable Bangladeshi batters like Mohammad Ashraful and Tamim Iqbal have previously scored centuries against India. India leads 11-0 in their Test encounters, with key performances from bowlers like Zaheer Khan, who recorded a seven-wicket haul, enhancing India's dominance. The series will also spotlight Shakib Al Hasan, who has struggled against India, averaging just 26.85 with the bat in Tests. Despite his overall strong Test statistics, Shakib aims to improve his performance in the upcoming matches. The historical context of these teams sets an intriguing stage for the forthcoming series.
