A two-match Test series between Team India and Bangladesh is expected to commence on September 19 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Meanwhile, in preparation for their forthcoming matches, the team underwent training on a black soil pitch containing moisture and grass at the pre-season camp located in Chennai. This extended session from 9:30 am till 3 pm exemplifies the focus of the team.
This camp is vital for Rohit Sharma’s team because they will play ten Test matches in total which includes three against New Zealand followed by the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The almost entirely fit squad is equipped for these future games and indicates India’s commitment towards Test cricket supremacy. In line with this, preparations were heightened during the camp to attain substantial victories soon.
Team India begins preparation in Chennai for the Bangladesh test:
Starting on Friday, the Indian cricket team commenced its preparations for an impending two-Test series against Bangladesh. Pace legend Jasprit Bumrah exhibited incredible intensity while batting legend Virat Kohli was observed spending around 45 minutes at the nets.
Prior to the commencement of the first Test between Bangladesh and India set for September 19, Captain Rohit Sharma together with captain Virat Kohli called the whole team into a private training session at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
This would be Gautam Gambhir’s first home assignment as head coach. Morne Morkel, the legendary bowling coach from South Africa, and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar were also present.
The players are eager to move past the disappointment of losing the ODI series against Sri Lanka in August, which was Gambhir’s first assignment as head coach following his replacement of Rahul Dravid. They are returning to the field after a much-needed vacation of more than a month.
Given that Bangladesh is riding high after recently defeating Pakistan 2-0 in the Test series, it would be intriguing to watch how Rohit’s team approaches the match.
