Virat Kohli vs spinners, Rohit Sharma vs...: Key battles that could decide India vs Bangladesh Test series

Hindustan Times  

India are the overwhelming favourites in their upcoming home Test series against Bangladesh, as is normally the case in any red-ball series in the country regardless of the opponents. Virat Kohli will be looking to get a good run going as he looks to re-establish himself as the best in the world in Test cricket What is unique about Bangladesh which most top teams don't bring to the table when playing Test matches in India, is that they have multiple experienced spinners in their lineup. With India set to play 10 Test matches in the next six months, it is a good chance for Kohli to get a good run going in the format once again. Indian openers vs Nahid Rana If India dish out pace-friendly wickets, as they did the last time Bangladesh toured the country, they would be wary of the threat that Nahid Rana would pose.
