Kanpur, India – In a strategic move, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first in the second Test against Bangladesh on Friday. The decision comes after India’s commanding 280-run victory in the opening Test, putting them ahead in the two-match series 1-0.* The match, initially scheduled to kick off on time, faced a delay due to a wet outfield, but the Indian team remained focused as they took to the field unchanged from their previous lineup. Rohit Sharma and his men are keen to build on their momentum and secure the series victory on home soil.
In contrast, Bangladesh made a couple of adjustments to their squad, with Khaled Ahmed and Taijul Islam coming in for Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana. The changes reflect the team’s determination to bounce back and put up a stronger fight against the formidable Indian side. As the players prepared for the clash, cricket fans eagerly anticipated a thrilling encounter that could see India clinch the series or give Bangladesh a chance to level the playing field.
India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj As the action unfolds, fans from both sides will be watching closely to see if India can continue their winning streak or if Bangladesh can turn the tables in this high-stakes contest.
