Thu Sep 19 08:08:03 UTC 2024: ## India Aim for Dominant Start Against Bangladesh in First Test
**Chennai, India (September 18, 2024)** – India’s cricket team is gearing up to face Bangladesh in the first of a two-match Test series, starting tomorrow, September 19th, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This marks the return of the Indian team after a month-long break, and they will be looking to bounce back from their recent 0-2 ODI series loss to Sri Lanka.
With a star-studded lineup featuring Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, India is considered the favorite in this series. With 10 remaining matches in the World Test Championship 2023-25, they are aiming for a strong performance to secure their place in the final.
However, Bangladesh should not be underestimated. Having recently defeated Pakistan 2-0 in a Test series on Pakistani soil, they arrive in India with confidence.
The first Test match will begin at 9:30 AM IST, with the toss taking place at 9:00 AM. The match will be televised live on Sports18 and Colors Cineplex TV channels and live streamed on the JioCinema app and website.
