After the successful campaign in Pakistan, Bangladesh will play a couple of Tests and three T20Is in the three-and-a-half-week tour. India will take on Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series at Chepauk on September 19th, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. The second and last Test of the series will be played in Kanpur.
The long wait is finally over. India will play their first Test since their last Test in March 2024 against England. India won that series 4-1, coming from behind after the loss in the first Test. Bangladesh brushed aside Pakistan recently to win the series 2-0. It was a complete team performance, with individual brilliance from Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Can Bangladesh pull off something similar against a team they have never beaten?
It was the fifth Test of the series in March 2024 when India last played Test cricket. Since then, they played a T20 World Cup and went on to win it. A long wait for the ICC trophy is finally over. After getting the much-needed rest after the hectic schedule of the IPL and World Cup, India is back to Test cricket for the last leg before the finalists of this WTC cycle will be decided. India top the points table right now and are well placed to make it to the third final in a row. India will play New Zealnd at home after this and then travel to Australia for the last series of this WTC cycle.
The big news from the Indian dressing room is that Rishabh Pant is set to make a Test match return after 629 days, something that seemed impossible earlier this year. KL Rahul has made a comeback to the team. It will be a difficult choice between him and Sarfaraz, who played well against England. Rohit Sharma has hinted at managing player workloads given the fact that India are to play 10 Tests in the next 15 weeks. Cheapuk is known for assisting spinners. It will be a red soil pitch, which is expected to offer bounce and carry. India will have to decide whether they want to go with 3 spinners or two.
Yashaswi Jaiswal has over 1000 runs in his first 9 Tests, while captain Rohit Sharma has been the backbone of this lineup with 758 runs in the last 10 matches. Ashwin (42 wickets in the last 8 games) and Bumrah (31 wickets in the last 6 games) will lead the bowling attack. Whether India plays their best XI or not, a win is more likely here against Bangladesh.

Winning in India is tough. Many in-form, strong teams have come here in the last decade and returned empty-handed. But Bangladesh will fancy their chances, ever so slightly, after a tremendous series win against Pakistan. The margin of victories will boost their confidence even further. Bangladesh won the first Test against Pakistan by 10 wickets - player of the match Mushfiqur Rahim (191 runs) and the second Test by 6 wickets - player of the match Litton Das (138 runs). Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the player in the series, with 155 runs and 10 wickets, which was a complete all-round performance.
Bangladesh's batting in that series needs a special mention as they performed as a unit. This is especially true in the second Test, where all six batters contributed to a tricky chase of 185 runs in the fourth innings. They will have to face different challenges against India, though.
As usual, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (39 wickets in 10 matches) and Shakib Al Hasan will lead the spin bowling. Taijul Islam is also in the squad; he has 37 wickets in the last 8 matches. Mushfiqur Rahim (657 runs in the last 8 matches) and captain Najimul Shanto (626 runs in 10 matches) will lead the batting for Bangladesh. Can they make a match of this, or will it be business as usual for India at home?

The weather on the match day at Chepauk is expected to be mostly clear with occasional clouds during the day. The temperature will be around 37°C mark with very little chance of rain. It looks like these are excellent conditions for India's return to Tests after a prolonged gap.

High TurnThe venue of the match is MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai. It is one of the most iconic stadiums in India. It was established in 1916, making it one of India's oldest cricket venues. It first hosted a Test match in 1934 and has been a prominent venue for international cricket since then. The stadium has a seating capacity of 38,000 spectators.
A total of 22 Tests have been played at this venue, with the team batting first, winning 12 games compared to 10 for the team batting second. With the assistance of spin on offer in the later stages of the game, it would be a good idea to bat first here. The team winning the toss should bat first.
That’s an easy one. India do not lose Tests at home that often. They have lost 4 in the last decade. Moreover, India have never lost a Test to Bangladesh before. The side looks formidable and has been well-rested. Despite coming off of a great series win against Pakistan, Bangladesh would know it’s a monumental task to beat India in India. We believe India will defeat Bangladesh in this Test match.
