The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, landed in Kanpur on Tuesday, gearing up for the second Test of the series against Bangladesh. The match is set to take place on September 27 at the iconic Green Park Stadium.
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were seen outside the team hotel upon the squad’s arrival, drawing attention from fans and media alike.
India started the two-match Test series on a high note with a commanding 280-run win at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were the key architects of this triumph, as their remarkable spin bowling decimated Bangladesh’s batting lineup, leading India to a comfortable victory.
India will look to further cement their place in the World Test Championship rankings by whitewashing the series 2-0 against Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, some members of the Indian squad are expected to be released ahead of the Irani Cup, scheduled to begin at Lucknow’s Ekana Sports City Stadium from October 1. Players like Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Yash Dayal are set to join their respective squads for the domestic tournament, potentially missing the final Test against Bangladesh.
India squad for the second Test against Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
