ABOUT THE MATCH

India will take on Bangladesh for the 1st match of the two-Test series on November 14 to 18 at Indore’s Holkar Stadium.

Team India will look to continue their supremacy against the Tiger’s (Bangladesh). Virat Kohli is back in the squad and will take over the captaincy duties. Rohit Sharma has been in excellent form in Test championship matches against West Indies and South Africa.

On the other hand, Bangladesh had a terrible time against India in Tests. They have not won a single test match against India to date. It will be an uphill task for the Bangla boys for their survival in Test Championship.

TOSS PREDICTION

Whichever team wins the toss will opt to bat first as the Indore wicket is perfect for batting.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The pitch at Indore is a batting pitch, and we can expect some huge scoring around the park and the ground has short boundaries and the batsman can face some heat off the bounce too.

And the climate at Indore is just perfect and there should be no interruption in the game.
