India's cricketing stars all eye the return to the Test arena, set to face neighboring Bangladesh in a two-match series starting September 19 at the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. 

Rohit Sharma leads the team, fresh off guiding India to its second T20 World Cup title, joined by stars like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja. India last played Test cricket in March, concluding a successful five-match series against England with a dominant 4-1 victory, solidifying their position at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) standings. 

Not just this, KL Rahul also makes his comeback after recovering from a back injury, replacing KS Bharat, while Kohli returns after missing the previous series for personal reasons. The reintegration of Bumrah significantly bolsters India’s bowling attack. 

Although they are favourites heading into the series, India must remain vigilant against a resurgent Bangladesh side that recently achieved a remarkable 2-0 series win over Pakistan. Under the captaincy of Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh showcased aggressive cricket, managing to dismiss Pakistan twice at their own home.

As the two prepare to meet one another let's have a look at the ground stats:
