Team India’s (IND) much-anticipated home season is set to kick off with two matches of the Test series against Bangladesh, (BAN) which will commence on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The Men in Blue boast a formidable Test record at home, having gone unbeaten for over a decade.
On the other hand, Bangladesh is coming off a historic 2-0 series win against Pakistan and will aim to shake India’s home dominance. The Rawalpindi Tests were mayhem for the hosts as the Bangla Tigers handed them a shambolic loss. Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men will be running high on motivation, but Team India’s dominant stature poses a big threat to them.
