TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
It was the fifth Test of the series in March 2024 when India last played Test cricket. Since then, they played a T20 World Cup and went on to win it. A long wait for the ICC trophy is finally over. After getting the much-needed rest after the hectic schedule of the IPL and World Cup, India is back to Test cricket for the last leg before the finalists of this WTC cycle will be decided.
Bangladesh Preview
Winning in India is tough. Many in-form, strong teams have come here in the last decade and returned empty-handed. But Bangladesh will fancy their chances, ever so slightly, after a tremendous series win against Pakistan. The margin of victories will boost their confidence even further.
Weather Conditions
The weather on the match day at Chepauk is expected to be mostly clear with occasional clouds during the day. The temperature will be around 37Β°C mark with very little chance of rain. It looks like these are excellent conditions for India’s return to Tests after a prolonged gap.
