India are all to begin their long Test season, comprising 10 matches, which will eventually end with the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia, on Thursday. Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma with teammate Ravindra Jadeja during a training session ahead of the first Test match against Bangladesh, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, in Chennai, Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 Heading into the match, India's main concern regarding the playing XI has been their bowling combination. This could imply that Akash Deep, who picked up a match-winning nine-wicket haul in the Duleep Trophy earlier this month and impressed on his Test debut for India in Ranchi earlier this year against England could be picked as the third seamer. Axar, who was India's hero in the T20 World Cup final, and displayed a brilliant all-round performance in the Duleep Trophy earlier this month, will have to sit out. Rishabh Pant vs Dhruv Jurel Jurel made an impressive Test debut earlier this year against England, which included a Player-of-the-Match-award winning show in Ranchi.
