Tue Sep 24 11:52:57 UTC 2024: ## Team India To Experiment With Three Spinners In Kanpur Test

**Kanpur:** The second Test match between India and Bangladesh is scheduled to be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27th. Both teams are expected to arrive in Kanpur today and commence practice sessions.

According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the pitch at Green Park is expected to be a flat, black soil surface. This suggests that the pitch will offer little bounce and slow down as the match progresses. This could lead to a change in strategy for the Indian team, particularly in their bowling department.

While India fielded two spinners in the first Test at Chennai, they are likely to field three spinners in the Kanpur Test. This might see Kuldeep Yadav join Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI, replacing one of the fast bowlers, possibly Akash Deep.

The Green Park Stadium has hosted 23 Test matches previously. Teams batting first have won 7 matches, while those batting second have won 3 matches. 13 matches have ended in draws. India’s last Test match at this ground was against New Zealand in November 2021, which ended in a draw.

This change in strategy could prove crucial in the second Test, as the team looks to capitalize on the pitch conditions and secure a series victory against Bangladesh.
