After a commanding 280-run victory in the first Test in Chennai, India will look to clinch the two-match series against Bangladesh when the second Test begins on Friday, September 27, at Green Park, Kanpur.
India's win in the opening match came despite early struggles in the first innings, thanks to Ravichandran Ashwin’s century and Ravindra Jadeja’s fifty. Bangladesh, in response, was bowled out for just 149. In the second innings, centuries from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant set a massive 515-run target, and Ashwin's six-wicket haul sealed the victory.
With the series on the line, India may consider playing Kuldeep Yadav, while Bangladesh could make changes to their lineup after the heavy defeat.
