India, under new head coach Gautam Gambhir, begins its red-ball campaign with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in Chennai on September 19. Rohit Sharma’s squad sees the return of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and K.L. Rahul, who missed recent matches due to injuries.

Akash Deep replaces the injured Mohammed Shami, while left-arm seamer Yash Dayal, after a strong Duleep Trophy showing, joins the squad, though both are unlikely to feature.

The key selection dilemma is between Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, with Patel’s all-round contributions competing against Kuldeep’s wrist-spin variety.

Here are the predicted teams and line-ups for the first Test between India and Bangladesh:

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, K.L. Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Bangladesh: Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib al Hasan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nahid Rana, Hasan Mahmud
