The India Cricket team has started its preparations for the highly anticipated two-match Test series against Bangladesh, set to begin on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both teams are keen to gather crucial points for the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC), with India currently sitting at the top of the table and Bangladesh in fourth place after their recent clean sweep against Pakistan.

Rohit Sharma-led India squad assembled in Chennai ahead of the series and began their intensive training session. The Indian captain, known for his composed captaincy and aggressive batting, was seen putting in significant effort during the net sessions. 

A video has surfaced online, showing Rohit Sharma practising a range of shots and focusing on playing spin effectively. But what caught the attention was Rohit's experimentation with shots that he rarely uses in match situations across formats. He was seen perfecting sweep shots and reverse sweeps to tackle Bangladesh's spin-heavy attack.

Before the series, BCCI announced the squad which marks the much-anticipated return of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, who were rested during the recent Sri Lanka series following their involvement in the T20 World Cup 2024. 

Reports suggest that the Chennai pitch for the first Test will not be a traditional rank turner, which will allow both pace and spin to come into play. The surface is expected to offer assistance to both fast bowlers and spinners, giving India the chance to make the most of their versatile bowling options.
