After a long gap of 5 months, Team India is again entering the field of red-ball cricket. The first series against Bangladesh is going to start on 19th September. The first test of this series is in Chennai, where the playing eleven of Team India is a big question. After all, who will be the 11 players who will take the field against Bangladesh? The answer to this question will be officially revealed at the time of the toss, but it is certain that many players will get a chance to play a test against Bangladesh for the first time.

India can go with 3 spinners and 2 fast bowlers.

Looking at the nature and condition of the Chennai pitch, India can go with a combination of 3 spinners and 2 fast bowlers. That is, there will be 6 batsmen, including one wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant's presence in the team means that he will be a part of the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper-batsman. That is, Dhruv Jurel, who made an impact in the home Test series against England, will have to sit on the bench.

This could be the batting order.

In the first Test against Bangladesh, the responsibility of opening the innings for Team India will be seen with captain Rohit Sharma and young left-handed batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal. Apart from him, Shubman Gill can come to bat first down. After him, there will be Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.

Talking about bowling, Ashwin and Jadeja can be the first choice of the Indian think tank in Chennai. At the same time, Kuldeep Yadav seems to have an edge over Akshar Patel as the third spinner. The two fast bowlers with whom Team India can field, one can be Jasprit Bumrah and the other can be Mohammad Siraj.

Bumrah and Yashasvi will be seen playing for the first time.

In the playing eleven with which Team India will play, there can be 2 players who can be seen playing a Test match against Bangladesh for the first time. One of these 2 players is Jaspreet Bumrah.

Let's take a look at Team India's probable playing XI for the first Test against Bangladesh :

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
