IND vs BAN 2nd Match Preview

India’s record in Tests at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur has been excellent. The Indian team has played a total of 23 matches here. Of these, the hosts have won seven matches, while they have faced defeat in three. 13 tests have been drawn. Spinners have always dominated this ground.

Apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant, none of the top-order batsmen were able to show anything special in the first innings of the Chennai Test. Legends like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul were seen struggling against the visitors. However, Gill made a comeback in the second innings and scored a century while Pant also failed to perform well in the Test. Three spinners may get a chance in India’s playing 11 in the Kanpur Test. The pitch of Kanpur has always been favorable for slow bowlers. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can give a chance to either Kuldeep Yadav or Akshar Patel. For this, he will have to rest one of the fast bowlers. In this situation, Mohammad Siraj may have to sit out. Now it remains to be seen whether the captain gives a chance to Akshar for depth in batting or will give place to Chinaman bowler Kuldeep to strengthen the spin department.
