Rohit Sharma Elects to Bowl First as India Faces Bangladesh in Second Test

Kanpur – In a strategic move, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second Test match against Bangladesh on Friday. India, leading the two-match series 1-0, has maintained an unchanged lineup following their dominant performance in the opening Test, which they won by 280 runs.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, has made two significant changes to their squad. Khaled Ahmed and Taijul Islam have been brought in to replace Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana, respectively, as the team seeks to level the series.

The match experienced a delayed start due to a wet outfield, raising concerns about conditions. However, both teams are eager to compete as they take the field.

Teams:

Bangladesh:
Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das (w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed

India:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (w), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

As the match progresses, all eyes will be on both teams to see if India can continue their winning momentum or if Bangladesh can stage a comeback in this crucial Test.
