Kuldeep Yadav Should Play Kanpur Test Against Bangladesh, Says India Star. Gives Reason

Middle-order batter Hanuma Vihari believes left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has to be in the playing eleven for India's second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, citing the need to have variety in the spin-bowling department on a black-soil pitch. With 53 wickets in 12 Tests since his debut in 2017, Kuldeep didn't play in India's 280-run win over Bangladesh in the first Test at Chennai, as India preferred to have a combination of three pacers and two spinners. But the knowledge of conditions at his home ground makes him an essential bowler for India to have in their playing eleven.

Shubman Gill continued to fine-tune his approach against spinners ahead of India's second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, beginning on Friday. During India's practice session, ahead of the 2nd Test in Green Park, Gill practiced cover drives with Rishabh Pant giving it a go with the ball and trying to bowl spin deliveries. "Pakdna Jaddu (Jadeja) bhai bhar bhar ke drive maar raha hoon (I will hit a lot of drives)," Gill said in a video posted by BCCI on X.

The all-round show of Ravichandran Ashwin, Shubman Gill's sublime hundred, Ravindra Jadeja's quality batting and Rishabh Pant's roaring comeback allowed India to script a comfortable victory in Chennai despite being put under pressure by the Bangladesh pacers in the first Test.

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.

Going has gotten tough for KL Rahul, but the veteran batter hasn't yet found a way to get going. Already out of India's T20I scheme, Rahul is staring at elimination from the Test squad too, owing to repeated poor shows. In Chennai, Rahul struggled to get his bat to do the talking in the first innings and when he came out to bat in the second innings, skipper Rohit Sharma's declaration decision was right around the corner. Ahead of the second Test between India and Bangladesh, Rahul has reportedly been issued a warning from the team management.
