Test series between India and Bangladesh is starting from Chennai. The match is scheduled to start from September 19 and both the teams are practicing hard to perform well in it. An interesting news has come out before this match. According to reports, after two days of practice on a red clay pitch, the Indian and Bangladeshi players on Tuesday practiced on a pitch made of black clay, which is believed to be helpful for spin bowlers. It is being said that the Test match to be played in Chennai is to be played on a red pitch, then why did Team India practice on a black pitch?
Spinners can help
Whether the match is on red clay or black clay, the Chennai heat will start helping the spinners from the third day onwards. As the match progresses the pitch will get rougher and as a result the ball will turn a lot. In such a situation, the importance of spinners will increase as the match progresses and this may be the reason why batsmen are practicing on spinner-friendly pitches.
Problem of Indian batsmen
Indian batsmen may also face trouble if the ball turns more. Recently, Team India assistant coach Ryan ten Descott admitted that the Indian batsmen failed to face the challenge of spin during the Sri Lanka tour. Now the spinners of Bangladesh can trouble Team India. Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Shakib Al Hasan are very experienced and they also like such situations. This is the reason why Team India batsmen can participate in extra practice session on Wednesday.
Team India will field three spinners!
Given the weather and the pitch in Chennai, it is clear that both teams can field three spinners in the first Test. Apart from Ashwin, Jadeja, the Indian team can give a chance to one of Kuldeep Yadav or Akshar Patel. On the other hand, apart from Shakib and Mehdi, Bangladesh can also include Taijul Islam in the playing eleven.
