India is all ready to start their long test series, which will be a part of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25, in which two matches are with Bangladesh, and the Second test is to be held in Kanpur. The series will end on October 12 after three T20 matches. After that, India will have three Test matches at home against New Zealand. Then, they will travel to South Africa for five limited-overs matches, and later in the year, they will head to Australia for five Test matches.
The last test series that India played was against England in February which was won by Rohit Sharma 4-1. After that, there were also the IPL and T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA that India won along with the white ball series in Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Bangladesh recently won a historic Test series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi and they are eager to carry that confidence into their upcoming matches in Chennai.
Bangladesh's 2-0 win in Pakistan has moved them to No. 4 on the WTC table with 45.83 percentage points. On the other hand, India is currently at the top of the table with 68.52 percentage points and will aim to improve their position in the series against Bangladesh.
