Rohit Sharma’s team is ready to break yet another record as they target their 18th consecutive Test series victory at home. They will get an opportunity to carry on with their remarkable form on Friday at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium during the second Test against Bangladesh.
The hosts will be looking to build on their convincing display in the previous Test match played in Chennai, which they won by a huge margin of 280 runs. Bangladesh, on the other hand will be hoping to make a comeback in the series after the humbling loss in the first Test.
The Bangla Tigers will, however need to reinforce their defenses and amend their shortcomings if they are to defeat the Indian side that looks very solid on paper. The Bangladeshi players will be keen to make statements and ensure that India does not achieve yet another series win with the stakes this high. It is going to be an interesting battle in Kanpur.

India vs. Bangladesh Pitch Report:

In the early stages of a Test match, the pitch is typically thought of as batting-friendly, providing lots of runs for the top-order batsmen. But as the match goes past the first two days, the surface is predicted to degrade, and spinners with more turn and grip would be more useful.
Both sides will probably be forced by this change in circumstances to use more spinners in their lineup in order to take advantage of the increasing support for slow bowlers. The bounce will decrease as the pitch slows down with time, making strokeplay for the batters more challenging as the game progresses.
