IND vs BAN Test Series Preview: The highly anticipated India vs Bangladesh Test series is set to commence on September 19, 2024, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The second Test will follow on September 27, 2024, at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. A series sweep against Bangladesh will cement India's place atop the World Test Championship (WTC) standings but the team under Rohit Sharma are guarding against any complacency in the two-match home series beginning in Chennai on Thursday.
Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, are on a high after their memorable 2-0 series victory in Pakistan, a team they had never beaten before in a test match.
The task will be tougher against India, who have prevailed in 11 of the 13 previous encounters between the neighbours -- the other two were draws -- and have not lost a home test series since 2012.
India and Bangladesh have faced off in 13 Test matches, with India securing 11 wins while the other two matches ended in draws. Bangladesh enters this series on the back of recording a historic 2-0 away Test series win over Pakistan last month and will now look to claim their first Test win against India. India, on the other hand, open the new season with a full strength squad featuring skipper Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant, who will be making his Test return after nearly 20 months.

India - Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
