The Indian team might be tempted to play three spinners against Bangladesh in the second Test, starting Friday at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium. The hosts won the series opener in Chennai last week, hammering Bangladesh by 280 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series-opener. The Rohit Sharma-led side opted for three pacers in Chennai, with Akash Deep getting the nod, alongside senior pros Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, over Yash Dayal. Since the Kanpur Test will be played on a black soil track, Akash might have to make way for local hero Kuldeep Yadav.
