Following a comprehensive win by 280 runs in the first Test in Chennai, India will be looking to close out the two-match series against Bangladesh on a high with yet another dominating performance in Kanpur. The Indian cricket team were put under some pressure a couple of times in the first Test last week, but they managed to find a way to get out of troublesome situations before returning the favour to Bangladesh, and the visitors weren’t able to handle it.
In this article, SportsTiger looks at India’s probable playing XI versus Bangladesh for the second Test.
Openers: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C)
Yashasvi Jaiswal batted exceptionally in the first innings of the Chennai Test, scoring a fifty on a pitch helping the Bangladesh pacers, who had picked up a few early wickets of the Indian batting lineup in the first hour, which will keep him in good stead in the upcoming match. Rohit Sharma didn’t last long in either of the two innings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, but his leadership skills were on full display on the field during the Test match, which were crucial in helping the Indian cricket team restrict Bangladesh to sub-par totals in both the innings.
