India and Bangladesh are set to clash in a two-match Test series starting September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The series is crucial for India as they aim to bolster their chances of reaching a third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final. India, led by Rohit Sharma, need to win at least five of their remaining 10 matches to secure a spot in the final.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will seek their first-ever Test win against India. Despite the challenge, the Tigers recently showcased their potential by defeating Pakistan 2-0, boosting their confidence ahead of this series.
India have named a full-strength squad, including the returns of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant. Yash Dayal is set to make his debut, while Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan have retained their places in the squad.
