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.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in charge of cricket operations Shahriar Nafees has said that Shakib Al Hasan won't be "harassed unfairly" when he returns Bangladesh for the first time since the fall of the Awami League government of which he was a part of.

Mystery Behind Shakib Al Hasan's Black Strap vs India Finally Solved. Bangladesh Coach Says...

During the Chennai Test, former Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was spotted biting down on a black strap wrapped around his neck while batting. This was part of his effort to maintain the correct head position while at the crease. According to ESPNcricinfo, his mentor, Mohammad Salahuddin, and the BCB's chief physician, Dr. Debashish Chowdhury, explained that Shakib devised this mechanism himself to prevent his head from falling over when playing the ball. Previously, he had used a neck brace for the same purpose. Shakib's head-positioning issues stem from an eye condition diagnosed last year. Ophthalmologists in Chennai, London, Dhaka, and Singapore concluded that he has Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC), a condition causing fluid buildup under the retina, which can distort vision. To ensure optimal sighting of the ball while maintaining proper technique, Shakib has dedicated many hours to perfecting his head position.

"Can't Apply A Cricket Reason": Sanjay Manjrekar Comments On Shubman Gill's Strange 'Weakness'

Shubman Gill poses a very odd statistic. From 2020 onwards, Gill's average is the highest among any Indian Test batter when you take scores from only the second innings. However, his career Test average is merely 35, meaning that he tends to underperform in the first innings. It proved to be the same again in the first Test between India and Bangladesh, as Gill recovered from a duck in the first innings to a fine 119 in the second. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his bewilderment at this repeated occurrence.
