India vs Bangladesh : It was a clinical show by hosts India that helped them beat Bangladesh by 280 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the ongoing two-match Test series. After the convincing, will the management consider changes in the XI for the Test match at Kanpur. In all likelihood, we reckon that Jasprit Bumrah may be rested due to workload management - as India play a lot of Test matches going ahead. So, who comes into the XI if Bumrah is rested? Now, this is a tough one - will a pacer like Yash Dayal get to make his debut or will it be Kuldeep Yadav - the local hero - who would get picked.

Maintaining a clean slate against the Asian neighbours, India now lead the two-match series 1-0.

Ravindra Jadeja supported him with a three-wicket haul (3/58).

“Look, I think this pitch, even if you bowl good balls, you will go for runs. But the bounce is going to be quite daunting. The beauty about red soil is you put revs on it, there is value and there is bounce,” Ashwin told reporters in the post-match press meet," POTM Ashwin said after the win at Chepauk.
