At Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, India fielded three pacers in the first Test match against Bangladesh: Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep. Assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said they are ready to altering the lineup ahead of the second Test in Kanpur’s Green Park because the weather has drastically changed recently.
India will probably bench a seamer in favour of Kuldeep Yadav or Axar Patel, given that Kanpur has historically been a haven for spinners. the Indian team was considering playing the local lad, Kuldeep, in the second Test, prior to the match.
Abhishek Nayar said that the playing XI hasn’t been decided yet and that the conditions on Day 1 will be vital in selecting it when asked if.
The starting lineup is not available to you at this time. Everybody is free. We still don’t sure which surface we’ll play on. The team configuration would be heavily influenced by the conditions. We anticipate a sunny day here tomorrow because the conditions have changed so dramatically,” Nayar stated during the press conference held before the game.

There would be something for every cricketer on the surface, according to the curator of the Kanpur field. In addition to thinking that the hitters will enjoy batting on the first two days, he predicts that the pacers will have some advantage in the day’s first two sessions. After then, he anticipates the spinners to seize the initiative and have an effect.

“That Chennai match vibe will be present. Everyone will find something to enjoy in it. It will be reasonably decent for batting for the first two days and will provide bounce in the first two sessions. The final three days will see the spinners in action, according to curator Shiv Kumar.
