India vs Bangladesh 1st Test, Chennai match report: India will play two Test matches against Bangladesh at home. The first match will be played tomorrow (September 19) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai.
The Chepauk surface has always been considered helpful for spinners, but will it be the same this time? This question must be on every fan’s mind, right? In this regard, a major report has come out, which revealed that this Test match will also be memorable for fast bowlers.
The match will be held on a pitch that favours fast bowlers.
In fact, this time even fast bowlers will be able to showcase their talent on the Chennai pitches. According to ESPNcricinfo, Chepauk has nine types of pitches. Of these, three are red clay pitches. This soil was brought from Mumbai. The first Test match between India and Bangladesh will be played on one of these three red clay pitches.
The clay court is also good for fast bowlers as the new ball provides a lot of swing here and bounces very well. Under such circumstances, it is obvious that this test match has given the fans a lot of excitement.
Why did the Indian team choose this clay court?
Let us tell you that the Indian team will play a 5-match test series on the Australian tour at the end of this year. Some pitches have bounce and swing which are helpful for fast bowlers. In this case, maybe the Indian team will choose this pitch for that series.
However, this plan will be a double-edged sword for India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma as they will be heavily criticised if the team fails in such an effort at home.
