India's 'Pitch Strategy' For 1st Test Against Bangladesh Revealed

The stage is set. The preparations for the first Test between India and Bangladesh are underway at full throttle. With Rohit Sharma leading the pack, the Indian side will return to the longest format after a hiatus of six months, as they last faced England in a five-match series in March. The first match, which will begin from September 19, will be the first assignment of former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel as India's new bowling coach. On Friday, Team India adapted a different approach during it's first practice session.

As per a report by the Indian Express, under the guidance of head coach Gautam Gambhir and Morkel, Indian batters like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal used two nets to bat. The black soil pitch was given to the spinners while the pacers took the red soil pitch.

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai is known for favoring spin. Thus, the Indian side is experimenting with their options. India's bowling line-up consists of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel as the spin options while Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Yash Dayal have been included as the pacers.

The report further stated that India have also kept some interesting names as their net bowlers. Spinners like Tamil Nadu's S Ajith Ram, M Siddharth and P Vignesh were used in the nets. Pacer like Arpit Guleria, Gurnoon Brar, Yudhvir Singh, Vaibhav Arora, Simarjeet Singh, Gurjapneet Singh were also used as net bowlers.

It would be interesting to see how Rohit's side approaches the game against a Bangladesh side, which is on a high following its 2-0 Test series win over Pakistan recently.

Vital World Test Championship (WTC) points are at stake in the two-match series as India get ready for a a gruelling 10-match Test season, which also includes a three-Test series at home against New Zealand and the five-match Border-Gavaskar series later this year in Australia.

India are currently heading the table with 68.52 percentage points, while Australia are a close second with 62.50 percentage points.

Bangladesh have jumped to fourth spot with 45.83 percentage points following their 10-wicket win over Pakistan in the opening Test and their amazing fightback in the second Test where wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das scored a century to singlehandedly guide the side to a series triumph.

Former India allrounder Ajay Jadeja told reports in Kolkata:

"Any team which has come just after winning will always think they can win. But there is a difference between the Pakistan team at the moment with the India cricket team. The Indian team is a far superior team.”

“But yes, from their (Bangladesh’s) point of view, they will believe that since they have beaten Pakistan, why cannot they (beat India). But we are a better side, but they will definitely be a handful. They play spin well, they bowl spin, so conditions suit.”

“November is far off but we have done well in Australia in the past. Why should we not think that we will do it again. We should only get better from there.”
 
The way the Bangladeshi cricketers are being showered with money and gifts, I have a bad feeling they will go on to lose every single Test match for the next two to three years. Beating India in India is impossible.
 
No.

It was the equivalent of asking whether the USA will beat any team in the super 8.

They got absolutely destroyed by everyone.

Beating Pak means nothing against more serious and better teams.

They got a big amount.

I think they would have beaten India but now they will be to used to luxury and won't care.

India got off lightly here. They always get the luck.

Agree.

Not sure why they got so much money for winning a regular Test series. It is not like they won a World Cup. LOL.

I hope it will not impact their game negatively.
 
India are playing their full side including Bumrah.

BD would have to play out of their skins to avoid a 2-0 whitewash.
 
Unlikely, but it will be a great outcome to get 1-1 score let alone winning the series.
 
With Jadeja, Ashwin, Axar batting at 7,8 and 9 positions it will be very difficult to beat India in India even for teams like Oz and England. They may win a test but winning a series is next to impossible.
Expecting Bangladesh to lose atleast one test by an Innings and 150+ runs.

Bumrah will only play one game I believe. He may 2 play vs nz as it's a 3 test series.

But vs aus he will definitely play 3
 
Bangladesh let alone , would not be able to draw a single test.

If they avoid innings defeat , it will be best for them. India can beat Bangladesh with 9 players .

This is the confidence I want Indian team to go in the field with. I want all of the Indian team players thinking "we can beat BD with 9 players only, so I don't need to take this seriously there are other 9 guys for that"

Yep, so glad Bangladesh played Pakistan first. If it was the other way around who knows what would have happened.

We probably will win but kohli will get bamboozled by spin again as usual.
If we pick on merit yes we would smoke any team but with weak players of spin like kohli and mental midget rahul it will put immense pressure on our lower order as usual.

They score together around 90-100 on average in tests and for that score they take 4-5 batsman on average..That's where match turns in Indian favour drastically..In Indian pitches more than their bowling it's their batting which tilts the match..

Should play all wtc matches , They should avoid bowling him once match is in the pocket..
 
Definitely defeating India in India in tests is very difficult. India lost their last home test series against England in 2012. In the test series India played against England in early 2024 in India in two tests even as England had the upper hand, India came back to defeat England in those two tests. But the biggest enemy India have to fight is complacency. Never underestimate the Bangladesh team. Remember what happened in 2007 World cup.
 
Strange pressure on BD!

They were always used to being underdogs but after the Pakistan win, somehow they are being considered as a strong side.
 
Even Sri Lanka with greats like Murali, Sangakkara etc have never won a test in India.
 
India top middle order is so weak gill kohli kl Rahul Bangladesh can get those wickets easily

What do you mean 'considering its India'?

Has Bangladesh started considering India as its rival or what these days? LOL. Talk about being delusional.

If India sneezes, there won't be a Bangladesh tomorrow and would need daddy China to protect them. But India never considered Bangladesh as rival or anything and always maintained good diplomatic ties. The country itself was a gift from India. So lets not get carried away.

Just come, play cricket, lose badly and go home. It will be BAU as usual. This is not Pakistan you are touring and you won't get Rawalpindi pitch here.

Hopefully people don't get too much tension. It is hard because Indians have been very racist recently towards Bangladesh so your public may have a bit of fire in their bellies.
 
Najmul Hossain Shanto speaking in the pre-departure press conference:

"It will be a challenging series but we have the extra confidence from the Pakistan series," Shanto said in the pre-departure press conference in Dhaka. "I guess the whole country has that confidence now. Every series is an opportunity. We want to win both Tests, but we have to stick to our process. If we do our job, we can get a good result.”

"They are well ahead of us in the rankings. But we did play well recently. We want to play well for five days, that's our goal. We want to get the result in the last session of the Test match. At that time, the match can go in any direction. It is an opportunity [to get our first win in India]. We will play with a win in mind. But we don't want to think too far ahead. We want to do well for five days, and play to our strength. That's most important."

"We are in a good place with our bowling attack, both spin and pace," he said. "Perhaps our pacers are behind them in terms of experience but our spin attack is close to theirs. They can bowl in any conditions. All I can say is that our pacers, spinners and batters will give 100%.

"I think we can make a difference only if we play as a team. It is not just the spinners but the pacers and the batters also. The whole team has to play together."

"My personal goal would be for the team to win," Shanto said. "I want to contribute as a batter, for which I have prepared to the best of my ability. I am hopeful [Shakib] will do well. The expectations are always the same with him. He is in good form with the ball. He didn't get runs [for Surrey], but he had a good outing with the ball."

Isn't that a stretch? LOL.

BD often win whenever India play a depleted side. BD beat Indian depleted XI last Asia Cup, last ODI series etc.
 
Let me hype up this thread a bit more.

Bangladesh, over the years somehow considered India as their rivals and took petty fights which were needless. Let me break down the sequence of events:

1. It all started with no ball against Rohit Sharma in 2015. Even though Rohit only went onto add only 35 runs after that incident and BD lost the overall game by 109 runs, they blamed BCCICC for that defeat. So much so that then ICC President from BD Mustafa Kamal resigned as a protest.

2. During the same world cup, Star Sports launched an ad Mauka Mauka. It was primarily to take a dig at Pakistan. Looking at the success of that ad, Star extend if for most India games and created one for each team. They only team that they didnt creats a mauka ad was before the quarter final game against BD. However, Bangla fans took it personally, believed in their minds that those ads were directed towards their team and created bunch of ads on their own mocking Indians

3. India toured BD next after 2015 WC and they beat us 2-1 in ODI series. Their newspaper, without any provocation, mocked our players with an image of head shaved bald calling it as cutter from Fizz.

4. Asia cup 2016 - Bangladeshi fans created an image of Taskin carrying beheaded Dhoni and put it all over the internet. Thats why MS promoted himself up in the final, hit that 105m six and made the entire stadium cry.

5. Just prior to WT20 2016, Taskin was banned for chucking. Entire Bangla fans and media blamed BCCI saying Taskin was only banned as a revenge for that image.

6. During T20 WC 2016, Mushy failed to score 2 runs in 3 balls and in the process failed to knock India out of the tournament. Then when Windies knocked us out in Semi final, same Mushy posted "Ha..ha..happiness is this...now I can sleep much better". After facinv backlash he deleted that post obviously but damage is already done.

7. When Shakib was banned for failure to report fixers, their fans again blamed India. Many fans were sending message to Kohli and Rohit in facebook saying I am a fixer...got a proposal for you for money, taking screenshot of that chat and sending to ICC saying see even Rohit/Kohli failed to report. Now ban them or free Shakib :shakib

8. When India beat BD in Asia cup 2018 final, they fans non stop blames ACC for favouring India. They even hacked Kohli's account even though he was not even playing that tournament.

9. U19 WC 2020 - where Jaiswal and Shoriful were playing. Bangladesh won that game but rather celebrating their victory, they chose to rub it into Indian players. A big fight broke out after the game.

Then Covid came and things dried up. I thought this so called one sided rivalry has died down. However, it looks like BD tour of Pak 2024 have made them arrogant again.

Time for India to teach a lesson once more and clear out where things stands!

Yeah these two were especially ridiculous.
 
well not sure that they can win any Test against India but they are surely going to give them a tough time as they are equally good playing in spin conditions as india.
 
India has won 17 test series in a row. Nobody could even draw a series. During this period


Ashwin

51 tests
309 wickets 20.07 avge 23 fifers 5 10 wicket hauls
1391 runs 23.18 avge 2 centuries 6 fifties
3 MOM 6 MOS awards

Jadeja
43 tests
210 wickets 20.60 avge 11 fifers 2 10 wicket hauls
1812 runs 40.26 avge 3 centuries 12 fifties
9 MOM 2 MOS awards

Other spinners

Axar 12 test 47 wickets 18.65 avge
Kuldeep 8 tests 35 wickets 21.82 avge.



Another factor people overlook is fast bowling. During this record breaking phase

Umesh 27 tests 83 wickets 25.60 avge
Shami 21 test 76 wickets 22.10 avge
Ishant 24 tests 49 wickets 30.22 avge
Bumrah 8 tests 33 wickets 16.36 avge

Shami on rough surfaces can be unplayable with old ball. He can just run through the side. So can Umesh.


India could very well sit out the experienced stars and play domestic specialists who can outperform Kohli/Rahul easily.

I am hoping India play the below X1, just two positions which can go either way.

Rohit
Jaiswal
Virat
Gill
Jurel
Pant
Jadeja
Ashwin
Axar/Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj/Akashdeep

This will give us batting till number 9 and also give 3 spinners and two pacers attack. I think it is better to look past KL Rahul in all formats at the moment. But considering Indian think tank, KL for sure will play and they will drop Gill or Jurel.

1) It all started with Bangladesh beating India in the 2007 World Cup, a result no one in their right mind would have expected. Out of all the minnows, Bangladesh stunned India, one of the tournament favorites, with a team that included legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Harbajhan Singh and Sir Ajit Agarkar. I still remember discussing with my friends how Dhoni might score a 50-ball hundred, and we thought 400 runs were on the cards. Back then, I hardly followed Bangladesh cricket and didn't knew Tamim Iqbal would hit that iconic down the wicket sixer shot to Z. Khan, that was a fearless shot to a legend.

A couple of days before the game, Mashrafe Mortaza found himself in an elevator with Rahul Dravid and some other Indian cricketers, who were complaining about the World Cup schedule and how they didn’t like the frequent travel for group matches in the second stage. Mashrafe was fired up by their remarks as India were planning and complaining about next stage which disrespected Bangaldesh team, Mash held a meeting and lifted the spirits of his young teammates—Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim—reminding them that India and other teams wouldn’t take them seriously, and they were there to prove a point. He gave it his all, that is his best performance till today, he will only be remembered for that match as later on because of knee problem he became a 120 kph trundler.

2) Come match day, India and the entire world underestimated Bangladesh & Bangladesh created history by winning the match by 5 wickets. After India's exit, Indian cricket fans were furious, and Team India faced a heated reception. Effigies of Dhoni were burned, and stones were pelted at his house. Sehwag was particularly fired up and reportedly worked out by eating two whole chickens a day, determined to take revenge on Bangladesh. In an interview, he mentioned that he wanted to settle the score for the 2007 World Cup defeat. He took his revenge in 2011 world cup by scoring a daddy hundred vs Bangladesh in Bangladesh and India went onto win the world cup, which ended a fairy tale odi career for Sachin.


Going back to Under 19 world cup.

9) The Bangladesh Under-19 World Cup team had been bullied / sledged by the Indian Under-19 team after losing a few close matches to them before the World Cup. There was a strong rivalry between the players from both teams back then. That's why you could see Shoriful's celebration :shh telling them to be quiet politely and just play the game.

I like shoriful. He is a fighter. Need players like him. On the pitch it should be a war. Need to be ready to serve your country with pride.

These days many only care about ipl money
 
Good that the hype train is high for this series. Atleast gets more eyeballs. The reality though is that Ind will thump ban 2-0 and normal service is restored . :)
 
Bangladesh can't defeat our Ranji team....and you are talking about our national team 😜 🤣.....
Lol we are not like Pakistani team
 
India is tough to beat at home.

Anything is possible but most likely India will brush aside Bangladesh quickly.
 

Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir Prepare 'Surprise Weapon' For Bangladesh​


As the Indian cricket team gears up for the Test series opener against Bangladesh, starting September 19, a new strategic call seems to be in line. India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma looked at a few experiments in the nets, but the one that particularly caught the eye was the decision to have Yashasvi Jaiswal bowl leg spin. Jaiswal, who has also taken the opener's role in Tests like fish takes to water, also seemed serious about spin bowling, a skill that would strengthen his position in the team, not just in Tests but other formats as well.

In a video shared by Jio Cinema, the official broadcaster of the Test series, the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja faced Jaiswal's deliveries in the nets. Though the responsibility of bowling spin primarily relies on the shoulders of Jadeja and Ashwin, they could find a new partner in the form of Jaiswal soon.

When it comes to his Test career, Jaiswal has bowled just one over before, against England in Ranchi, where he had gone for six runs.

The Chennai pitch, where the first Test is scheduled to be played, is expected to be a red soil pitch which would help pacers more. Considering the wonders that Bangladesh spinners did against Pakistan in the recently-concluded 2-match Test series, Team India seem to have opted for a more measured approach.

The Bangladesh squad landed in Chennai, the venue for the opening Test beginning on September 19, on Sunday afternoon.

"It's definitely going to be a very challenging series for us," Shanto was quoted as saying at the pre-departure press briefing at the Dhaka airport.

"After a good series (vs Pakistan) there is definitely an extra confidence in the team, in the people of the country. Every series is an opportunity.

"We will play to win both matches. The things that matter to win, the process matters... our aim will be to do the work properly. Good results are possible if we do our job properly," the Bangladesh captain added.

While India is on top of the World Test Championship (WTC) table, the Bangladesh skipper believed that it will all boil down to how they perform during those five days and the result can come even in the last session.

India is tough to beat at home.

Anything is possible but most likely India will brush aside Bangladesh quickly.

closest they came to beat india was when they had india on the ropes at 74/7 chasing 145 at Mirpur where the ball was turning massively. mehidy was unplayable. Ashwin and shreyas iyer navigated the chase carefully to see india home. They had everything in place. Rohit was not part of the tour. Some of the guys had no answer on that track. They won the toss. India batted last. Both Australia and England lost their respective tests at Mirpur. So threepeat was almost possible.

I intentionally removed it as that incident was more to do with a cobra fight between SL & BD. The entire Premadasa stadium was supporting India that day in the finals when DK suddenly decided to became the snake charmer and killed that Bangla cobra forever. :(

Bangladesh beat India (slightly depleted sides) last Asia Cup and also last ODI series.

Also, last time BD toured India, they won 1 T20.

So, BD can beat them once in a while.
 
I am not overconfident, but i don't think Bangladesh can beat India is tests, that too in India. Yes, they are great players of spin, and we have seen Indian batsman dancing against Lankan spinners, but still don't think India will lose to them.
Good luck to both teams ..

Isn't that a stretch? LOL.

BD often win whenever India play a depleted side. BD beat Indian depleted XI last Asia Cup, last ODI series etc.

Why are you correcting him lol, encourage him. India taking us not seriously is what we want. Unfortunately BCCI is taking us seriously, the indian squad for the test series shows that.

I wish BCCI was like this fan and rested players like bumrah, Jaiswal etc

Two match test series and you are talking a about T20, ODI?

A better example would be above poster gave about Mirpur test. I did not follow the match but it seems BD should have won that test. The last 3 wickets and 100 runs on rank turner, missed easy opportunity.
 
Our batsmen are struggling against the net bowlers, seeing them getting bowled, beaten and edging, another Innings defeat coming up. If they are struggling this bad against net bowlers, they won't last one spell from Bumrah.

Read today that kohli & friends picked up net bowlers which have similar bowling action like shakib, mehedi, taijul & rana for net practice, India really taking Bangaldesh seriously.

We really need some proper test batsmen.

Indian team not bothered about Bangladesh but preparing for biggest test series in world cricket aka BGT.

All the test players are rusty or coming back from long holidays.

Although in cricket never take things granted so they will not take any team lightly

1) It all started with Bangladesh beating India in the 2007 World Cup, a result no one in their right mind would have expected. Out of all the minnows, Bangladesh stunned India, one of the tournament favorites, with a team that included legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Harbajhan Singh and Sir Ajit Agarkar. I still remember discussing with my friends how Dhoni might score a 50-ball hundred, and we thought 400 runs were on the cards. Back then, I hardly followed Bangladesh cricket and didn't knew Tamim Iqbal would hit that iconic down the wicket sixer shot to Z. Khan, that was a fearless shot to a legend.

A couple of days before the game, Mashrafe Mortaza found himself in an elevator with Rahul Dravid and some other Indian cricketers, who were complaining about the World Cup schedule and how they didn’t like the frequent travel for group matches in the second stage. Mashrafe was fired up by their remarks as India were planning and complaining about next stage which disrespected Bangaldesh team, Mash held a meeting and lifted the spirits of his young teammates—Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim—reminding them that India and other teams wouldn’t take them seriously, and they were there to prove a point. He gave it his all, that is his best performance till today, he will only be remembered for that match as later on because of knee problem he became a 120 kph trundler.

2) Come match day, India and the entire world underestimated Bangladesh & Bangladesh created history by winning the match by 5 wickets. After India's exit, Indian cricket fans were furious, and Team India faced a heated reception. Effigies of Dhoni were burned, and stones were pelted at his house. Sehwag was particularly fired up and reportedly worked out by eating two whole chickens a day, determined to take revenge on Bangladesh. In an interview, he mentioned that he wanted to settle the score for the 2007 World Cup defeat. He took his revenge in 2011 world cup by scoring a daddy hundred vs Bangladesh in Bangladesh and India went onto win the world cup, which ended a fairy tale odi career for Sachin.


Going back to Under 19 world cup.

9) The Bangladesh Under-19 World Cup team had been bullied / sledged by the Indian Under-19 team after losing a few close matches to them before the World Cup. There was a strong rivalry between the players from both teams back then. That's why you could see Shoriful's celebration :shh telling them to be quiet politely and just play the game.

So you have 2 games to show in last 25 years? Clearly you don’t know how that emoji works but you are from the land of Mushi and Shakib so it makes sense.

You lost the nidhas trophy final to Dinesh Karthik so puhhlease.
 
If there was a scenario where BD could possibly do it, surely, it would have be on the back of a land mark Test series win and their vindicated self belief.

I don't think you have watched that under 19 match, that's actually how Shoriful celebrated after picking up Jaiswal's wicket. I don't know why post like a constipated person, try dabur hajmola :odoyo

India takes tests seriously always. Not because of the opposition but becaues they respect this format more. Unless some players voluntarily wants a break like Kohli took against Australia and England missing 7 tests or they are injured India will field full strength team. They experiment only in T20s and ODIs.

Alas only if India took BD as seriously as some of the fans here, I specially wish all of Indian players thinking they can win with 9 players and chose not to perform as other 9 will do

Dont think Ind is not taking Ban seriously. They know the moment they get complacent - they can be surprised. Plus WTC points are at stake. And thats the kicker. Every single test win is vital. So they will be taking Ban seriously like all other tests. Also - probably the last chance for Rohit Virat Ashwin Jadeja to win a WTC final - so the extra added incentive I guess
