India vs Bangladesh Live telecast: When and where to watch IND vs BAN 1st Test on TV and streaming?
India will take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series starting in Chennai on Thursday, September 19. It has been a long and unusual 41-day break between two international assignments for India but will be determined to start on a good note on Thursday.
India take on Bangladesh in a short two-match Test series at home starting on Thursday, September 19 in Chennai. India will be playing a Test match for the first time in six months with the focus being on the shortest format with the T20 World Cup scheduled in the time period. But with now Champions Trophy and World Test Championship on the horizon, the T20Is will take a back seat for a little while. It has also been an unusual 41-day break for the Indian men’s team and probably a good one with a long Test season ahead.
Bangladesh are coming off a magnificent 2-0 series win in Pakistan. The visitors will be confident and have the momentum but taking on India in India is a different ball game and a beast altogether. Bangladesh have a good Test line-up, much better from the yesteryears but they will have to be at the top of their game to challenge the two-time WTC finalists.
For India, it will be an opportunity for Rishabh Pant to find his feet back in Test cricket after almost two years with Virat Kohli playing the format after more than eight months. The series also marks the first one for the new coach Gautam Gambhir. Hence, there are a few things to look forward to for the fans as well in the two-match series, which is a sort of a dress rehearsal for the New Zealand series and then the big one, the Australia tour.
