Bangladesh won the toss
Bangladesh captain Nazmul Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Indian captain told during the toss that he has come with three fast bowlers and two spinners. The three fast bowlers will be Bumrah, Siraj and Akash Deep. At the same time, the two spinners will be Ashwin and Jadeja. Bangladesh team has also come with three fast bowlers.
How will the pitch be?
According to ESPN Cricinfo, this match will be played on a red soil pitch in Chepauk. It is expected that the bowlers will get good bounce on this pitch and the ball will reach the keeper comfortably at a good height. However, due to the intense heat in Chennai, spin will definitely play its role as time passes. Still, it is believed that fast bowlers can create problems for the batsmen during the entire test. According to the pitch and conditions, fast bowlers can also get reverse swing here.
