India To Play 3 Spinners vs Bangladesh As Youngster Misses Out? Report Says...

India take on Bangladesh in the first Test encounter at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai starting Thursday. The Rohit Sharma-led side will return to action after more than a month-long break and questions remain over what team composition India will go with in this game. According to a report by Press Trust Of India (PTI), head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Rohit Sharma is expected to go with three spinners - Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. That means Axar Patel will miss out of selection. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be the pacers in the encounter.

"Virat Kohli's Team Won": 'Competition' In India Training Ahead Of Bangladesh Test Series

T. Dilip, India's fielding coach, talked about an idea of a competitive fielding drill he brought for the side's practice session on Monday ahead of the Test series opener against Bangladesh in Chennai, saying the thought behind this exercise was to get the whole team involved in it. “Today's whole session's idea was to get everyone together as a team drill, where we have two segments to it, the first segment was the competition drill, taking into consideration the humidity at Chennai. We made sure that the volume is less, but the intensity is taken care of. So we split it into two groups and had some little competition among catching, and the less number of errors is the team which won, and today it was Virat's team which has won today,” said Dilip in a video posted on BCCI's X account.

"Saw Sachin Tendulkar Unhappy For First Time": Ex-India Star On Infamous 194* Declaration vs Pakistan In Multan

The Multan Test between India and Pakistan in 2004 is remembered for Virender Sehwag's swashbuckling 309 - the first time an Indian cricketer scored a Test triple-century. However, there was another incident from the Test match that went on to become one of the controversial moments of Indian cricket. With India batting on 675/5 and Sachin Tendulkar unbeaten on 194, skipper Rahul Dravid decided to declare the first innings. While the decision was taken by the Indian cricket team considering the match situation, it meant that Sachin was left stranded six runs away from his double century. Sachin was visibly disappointed with the decision and it was widely criticised by both fans and experts. Former India batter Aakash Chopra recently spoke about the incident and how Tendulkar was extremely "unhappy".

India vs Bangladesh: 5 Records Ravichandran Ashwin Could Break In Test Series

Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India's finest in the longest format of the game, gears up for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, hoping to add some more laurels to his already decorated cap. When it comes to home Tests, there's arguably a better asset for the Indian team with the ball than Ashwin. Over the years, the Tamil Nadu-born off-spinner has delivered the goods, no matter the conditions. Against Bangladesh, he would look to break a few more records, further enhancing his Test legacy.
