IND vs BAN 2nd Test Predicted Playing XI: India had easily won the first test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. Now the Indian team has reached Kanpur, where the second test match is to be played between India and Bangladesh. The Indian team has performed brilliantly on home ground since its defeat to England in 2012 and this momentum is expected to continue in Kanpur as well. But on a slow and low pitch, Bangladesh’s spin bowlers Shakib Al Hasan, Mehdi Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam can create problems for the Indian batsmen. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir may need to make some changes in their strategy.
Kuldeep may get a chance
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are the two main spinners of the team and their place is considered certain. But as the third spinner, Kuldeep Yadav can be preferred over Akshar Patel. Considering Kuldeep’s left-arm wrist spin and his excellent performance against Bangladesh, he can be included in the team.
Siraj may get a break
In the fast bowling department, Mohammad Siraj can be rested in this match. Siraj has recently improved his line and length, but Akash Deep performed better in the Chennai Test. Akash’s speed and accuracy have impressed the selectors and he may get a chance to play in this match.
The batting order will remain stable
There is very little chance of change in the batting order of the Indian team. Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant scored half-centuries in the first Test, while captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul did not live up to expectations. Despite this, their place in the team is confirmed.
India’s probable playing XI against Bangladesh
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Akash Deep, Jaspreet Bumrah.
