Kanpur Test: Aakash Chopra Predicts India's Possible Change in Playing XI vs Bangladesh

The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played at Green Park, Kanpur from Friday 9:20 AM IST. Before this match, commentator Aakash Chopra believes that the Indian team can make one change in the playing 11 of the second Test. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav can be seen replacing a pacer in the Kanpur Test.

The pitch of Kanpur is made of black soil, which simply means a spinner-friendly track, so it will not be a surprise if Rohit Sharma can come on the field with three spinners and two pacers. The last test match was played in Chennai, where the pitch was helpful for the fast bowlers. That is why the Indian team came on the field with a combination of three fast bowlers (Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep) and two spinners (Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin).

Kanpur curator said, "Kanpur will have something for everyone. It will offer bounce in the first two sessions, and be pretty good for batting for the first two days. Then, the spinners will come into play on the last three?days."?(PTI).

Aakash Chopra on his YouTube Channel: "You can do only one thing on a black-soil pitch - put grass and leave moisture. Then the ball moves decently for the first one to one-and-a- half days. If they make such a pitch, which they did in Chennai, they might have to play three fast bowlers. However, if it's a typical Kanpur surface, low, slow and slightly spin-friendly, Kuldeep Yadav has to play,"

He further added: It It could be a straight swap, a fast bowler out and Kuldeep Yadav in. If there is no workload management, Akash Deep out and Kuldeep in. If Bumrah has to rest, both Akash Deep and Kuldeep might play. Other than that, I don't think there is a scope for a change in the team,"
