The highly anticipated Test series between India and Bangladesh will start in Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on September 19, 2024. India’s home season begins with this two-match series, which provides both sides with a major stage to display their talent.
Preparation and Team Setup
At a pre-series camp in Chennai, the Indian squad, captained by Rohit Sharma, has already started getting ready. A local favorite, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, will be crucial to the series after leaving his imprint on the Chepauk Stadium in past games. Prithi Narayanan, his wife, added a personal dimension to the cricketing frenzy around the series by posting on social media about how excited she was about the forthcoming match.
Milestones and Records at Stake
During this series, a number of significant events are at stake. A 2-0 series win for India would be historic, moving them up to fourth place in Test cricket history behind Australia, England, and the West Indies after they defeated South Africa. For the first time in 92 years, India would have more Test victories than defeats with a series victory.
Major milestones are what Ravichandran Ashwin is pursuing on the individual front. He needs six more wickets to become a member of the exclusive 750 international wicket club. He could be able to surpass legendary bowlers like Courtney Walsh and Chaminda Vaas with a solid showing in the series.
Furthermore, Ashwin has the potential to surpass Nathan Lyon of Australia to become the seventh-highest wicket-taker in Test history.
