The Indian cricket team started its practice at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This practice of the Indian players, who returned after a month's break, is to prepare for the Test series against Bangladesh, which will start on September 19. The first match of the series is to be played in Chennai and since the team in front is Bangladesh, there is only one question on everyone's lips - how much will the Bangladeshi spinners trouble Team India on a spin-friendly pitch? This question is being asked because the statistics of Team India's captain Rohit Sharma and star batsmen Virat Kohli-Shubman Gill are not very good against spinners.

Two matches are to be played in the Test series between India and Bangladesh, which will be held in Chennai and Kanpur. Both the grounds are favorable for spinners and Bangladesh has strong spinners like Shakib Al Hasan, Mehdi Hasan Miraz, and Taijul Islam, who have troubled Indian batsmen in the past as well. In such a situation, the real focus of this training camp started in Chennai is also batting against spinners.

Off-spinners troubled Rohit and Virat

The reason for this focus has been the deteriorating performance of Indian batsmen against spin in the last few years and we will explain it to you with statistics, which do not present a good picture. If we talk about off-spin, then Kohli has scored 380 runs facing 765 balls of off-spinners in these three years but has been out the most i.e. 11 times. On the other hand, captain Rohit Sharma scored 208 runs in just 420 balls but also lost his wicket 7 times. Apart from these two, Ravindra Jadeja has also been seen struggling with such spinners and has been out 11 times after scoring 229 runs in 641 balls.

Gill is fooled by left-arm spinners.

Now if we talk about left-arm spinners, Rohit and Virat's names are included here too but Gill has faced the most problems. Right-handed batsman Gill has scored 202 runs in 481 balls of left-arm spinners but has lost his wicket a maximum of 10 times. Bangladesh has two such strong spinners in the form of Shakib and Taijul. On the other hand, Kohli lost his wicket 9 times in 686 balls while scoring 272 runs. Once again, more and faster runs came from Rohit's bat but he has lost wickets as much. The Indian captain scored 277 runs in 473 balls and became a victim of left-arm spinners 8 times.

Bangladesh recently won a historic series by trapping Pakistan in spin and pace and hence they will enter the field with more courage and confidence. Also, they will also know about this weakness of the Indian team, so they will also try to take advantage of it. Obviously, the coaching staff and analysts of Team India will also be aware of these statistics and will want to overcome this weakness before the series starts.
