IND vs BAN 1st Test, Pitch Report: India's international cricket season is all set to resume with the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Notably, the Indian men's cricket team will be returning to cricket action after over a month-long break which means the fans of the cricket-crazy nation will be eagerly looking forward to the Test series opener at the MA Chidamabaram Stadium in Chennai.

Even though Team India have never lost a Test match against Bangladesh, the Bangla Tigers are confident of putting up a good show against India as they enter the series on the back of a historic Test series win over Pakistan. Amid all this, the way the Chennai pitch will behave might have a great impact on which way the match tilts.

MA Chidarambaram Stadium (Chepauk) Pitch Report

The Chennai pitch which will be used for the IND vs BAN 1st Test will be made of red soil. The red-soil wickets typically tend to offer good bounce and carry for the fast bowlers. While the traditional Chennai surface has preferred the spinners, given that a red-soil wicket os being prepared, seamers can come in handy as well on this surface.

One of the reasons why India would have wanted a red-soil surface in Chennai is because they want to gear up for the Australia tour. On Australian conditions, the ball tends to ball a lot more which is why a red-soil surface has been prepared at the MA Chidarambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai.
