Bangladesh has taken the field with three pacers and two all-rounders
Shakib, Mushfiqur, and their team are facing India with the goal of achieving the coveted Test victory that Bangladesh has been unable to secure in the past two decades. The Tigers are in search of their first victory against India in white clothing (Test format).
The two teams have come face-to-face at the M. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is set to begin at 10:00 AM Bangladesh time. Before that, the toss took place, and Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss, inviting the hosts to bat first.
The Bangladesh team has made no changes to their playing eleven. The lineup includes three pacers and two spinners. Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, and Hasan Mahmud are the pacers, while the spin responsibilities will be shouldered by Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
While fierce competition is often seen between the two teams in ODIs and T20s, it is rare in Tests. The Tigers have yet to make an impact against India in this format. Out of 13 Tests, they haven’t won any, with just two draws being their best results.
However, this time, Bangladesh has arrived in India with the aim of achieving something incredible. The confidence of whitewashing Pakistan on their home soil serves as a significant source of inspiration.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, and Nahid Rana.
