India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test, Day 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Play Called Off On Sunday Due To Wet Outfield

Wasim Akram, a former Pakistan pacer, praised Rishabh Pant's perfomance in his comeback Test match against Bangladesh. Akram was impressed by Pant's ability to receover from serious accident and continue playing at a high level. He expressed his admiration for Pant's resilience and determination. 

R Ashwin on his Youtube channel said that Gambhir and Dravid as coaches, saying that both have different styles but Gambhir was the more relaxed. 

This might come as a shock to many given Dravid's calm demeanour and Gambhir's fiery persona but according to Ashwin, the ex-Kolkata Knight Riders' mentor is very laid back behind the scenes. 

The third inspection will take place at 2 pm IST. There are still some damp patches on the outfield.

Najmul Hossain Shanto: Happy to bat first, we wanted to bat anyway. As a batter, if we get a start we have to score well. Hope our batters can score big today. Looks like a good wicket to bat on. New ball batting will be key though. Two changes. Nahid and Taskin aren't playing. Taijul and Khaled are in.

Rohit Sharma: "We are going to bowl first. The pitch seems a bit soft, so we have to make early inroads and we want our three seamers to make use of it. We didn't start well with the bat in the first game, but we found a way to score and the bowlers did the job. I expect no different here, we will be challenged but we have the experience. Same team."

India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first against Bangladesh in the 2nd Test.
