The India vs Bangladesh series will kick off India's Test long Test season on the 19th of September at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After a hiatus of over a month, the Indian team will look forward to a good start to the series in Chennai. The two-match series will have a huge impact on the World Test Championship standings.
The Rohit Sharma-led side will want to solidify their position and advance to the WTC Final next year. Players including Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul have had good practice in the opening matches of the Duleep Trophy 2024. They, along with other senior players, will be the key to win the series.
As is always the case at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, spinners will have a good time in the middle. The bowling conditions will detoriate as the game progress, making it difficult for the batters to tackle the turning conditions. However, the bounce on the red soil wicket prepared for the match will also help the pacers. The team winning the toss would want to bat first in these conditions and avoid batting in the latter stages of the game.
The weather forecast in Chennai for Thursday suggests extreme heat, with the temperature ranging from 28°C to 35°C. The humidity in the air is expected to be at 61%, making it further difficult for the players to be in the middle. The weather is expected to remain the same throughout the five days of the match.
