India’s Test season begins and their first task is to face an optimistic Bangladesh at home. The two-match series marks the final stretch for India on their way to a third consecutive World Test Championship final. They will then host New Zealand for three Tests before embarking on an epic five-match tour of Australia in search of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The first Test against Bangladesh will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai. It will be the first Test to be played at the Chepauk Stadium since February 2021 and the first since March 2008 that does not feature England or Australia as the touring team. Bangladesh have just secured a historic series win in Pakistan, but they are up against an Indian side that has hardly ever faced a serious challenge at home since 2013. India have lost just four Test matches at home in over a decade and will be looking to continue that sensational run in this series.

This will be the first Test match involving the new coaching team led by Gautam Gambhir. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to return to action. This will be his first international match since the 2024 T20 World Cup where India defeated South Africa to clinch their first ICC title in over a decade. Many eyes will also be on Rishabh Pant, who is playing his first Test match since December 2022 when a car accident halted his career for over a year. Virat Kohli will also be looking to get into his stride with the bat as there are many talks about whether he can be considered the best batsman of his generation due to England’s Joe Root’s incredible numbers in Test cricket of late.
