The second test match between India and Bangladesh will be played at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from 27 September. Team India has started preparing for this test. Captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir inspected the pitch and Virat Kohli practiced batting vigorously during this time.
Earlier, India defeated Bangladesh in the Chennai Test and took an unassailable lead in the series. Axar Patel did not get a chance to play in the Chennai Test. It seems difficult for Axar to make it to the playing 11 in the presence of Ravindra Jadeja. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly in the Chennai Test, now the same will be expected from him in the second Test as well.
Captain Rohit Sharma was seen inspecting the pitch of Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium to see how it would be for the second Test match. Rohit Sharma was also seen examining the pitch during the practice session.
Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli may have fought on the field during the IPL, but ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, a great chemistry has been seen between him and Virat. You can give a caption to this photo of Gambhir and Virat during practice at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
Captain Rohit Sharma knows how important the role of the pitch can be. The Kanpur Test is to be played on the same pitch at Green Park Stadium. It is important for Rohit to test the pitch because he will have to select the playing XI accordingly.
Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and assistant coach Abhishek Nair are both busy evaluating the pitch. Akshar Patel may not seem to have a place in the playing 11, but there is no lack of energy in his practice sessions.
During the practice session, Virat Kohli practiced batting along with fielding. Virat Kohli was not able to score big in both the innings in the first test match, but he would definitely want to make up for this shortcoming in this test match.
