The Indian cricket team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, is intensively preparing for the first Test against Bangladesh starting September 19 in Chennai. In practice sessions, Rohit has been observed honing his skills with the reverse sweep, a shot he rarely employs in matches, to counter the threat posed by Bangladesh's spinners, particularly following their recent clean sweep against Pakistan. Virat Kohli returns to Test cricket after a hiatus, and both he and Rohit are expected to play crucial roles in the batting lineup. India's bowling strategy may involve three spinners and two pacers, taking advantage of the Chennai pitch that is anticipated to assist both spin and pace. The Test series is significant for the ICC World Test Championship standings, with India sitting at the top and Bangladesh in fourth place. Following the Chennai Test, a second match is scheduled to take place in Kanpur on September 27.
