The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, engaged in an extensive training session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai ahead of their first Test against Bangladesh, starting on September 19. All 16 squad members participated, with key players like Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal facing bowlers such as Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin. The team is focusing on preparation, particularly on how the Chennai pitch typically favors spinners, as they aim to field three spinners and two pace bowlers for the match. Rishabh Pant is set to make his return to Test cricket after nearly two years, while Sarfaraz Khan joined the squad after competing in the Duleep Trophy. Bangladesh enters the series with confidence after a recent 2-0 series win over Pakistan. India leads the World Test Championship standings and is looking to capitalize on their home advantage against a resilient Bangladesh side.
