Indian cricketers are ready to pounce at Bangladesh cricket team in their first pink ball cricket test match. The first day/night test match will be played in Kolkata on Nov 22.

India’s ace bowler Mohamed Shami told media that he will alter his pace for the beleaguered Bangladesh team. He will continue to dominate as the most reasonable wicket bowler. Ironically, the best bowler in Indian squad continues to be Jasprit Bumrah. However, Bumrah’s fitness is a concern for the Indians.

 

Indian cricketers are excited to play their first test match in the history of Indian cricket in India as pink ball test match. “It depends upon dew factor”, told the experts when asked about the importance of toss. If India wins the toss they’d bat first without any fuss. Indian cricketers are capable of building their innings as the match progresses. There’s no reason for India not to bat first if they win toss. The spectators are expected to watch in great numbers as the pink ball match rolls on Nov 22.

Sun setting early is a major issue as the season is winter in India. That’s the reason match starts a bit early in the afternoon at 1 PM. It will be good to see fighting cricket rather than one sided match. While it’s expected that India will come hard at Bangladesh and win the match within 4 days.

 

India is the number 1 ranked test cricket team in the world and Indian cricketers are aware about their top level. Virat Kohli is looking forward to score yet another ton in this match. Pujara is also expected to perform much better. Indian team is on a high level performing streak and will continue to play attacking cricket.
