India Bowls First in Historic Kanpur Test

India's cricket selectors are evaluating pace bowler Mayank Yadav's recovery from injury at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in preparation for the T20I series against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, India is competing against Bangladesh in the second Test in Kanpur, where Rohit Sharma made a historic decision to bowl first after winning the toss, a move not seen in 60 years. Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali and others have expressed surprise at this decision, citing potential difficulties batting in the fourth innings. Middle-order batter Hanuma Vihari and Kuldeep Yadav emphasize the importance of including the left-arm wrist-spinner in the lineup due to the pitch conditions in Kanpur. Kuldeep Yadav is particularly motivated to perform well on his home ground. India aims for a comprehensive victory following their win in the first Test.
