India have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second Test match of the two-match series against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on Friday (September 27). The toss was delayed by 30 minutes after there was rain overnight and overcast conditions to begin with this morning. Rain is predicted for the first three days of the five-match affair and that could have played a role in the Playing 11s that the two teams have decided to go ahead with for this Test match.

Ahead of the second Test match, all the talk was about Shakib Al Hasan who dropped a bombshell on the eve of the Test saying that the Kanpur Test could be the final one of his career. The star Bangladesh all-rounder also revealed that he has already played the final T20I of his life and has requested for a farerwell Test at home. If that request is not accepted, the Kanpur Test will be his last.
