For 2nd Test Match between India and Bangladesh Kanpur Pitch Expected to get used

The second test match between India and Bangladesh cricket team is going to take place at Kanpur green park Stadium, is expected to feature a black soil pitch that will offer lower bounce compared to the previous match in Chennai. This shift from the red soil used in Chennai is anticipated to result in a flatter surface, leading to diminished bounce and carry as the match progresses.

Teams may adjust their lineups accordingly, with India potentially opting for more spinners, such as Kuldeep Yadav or Axar Patel, instead of a third seamer. Historically, Kanpur has hosted three Tests in eight years, with varying outcomes, including a notable draw against New Zealand in 2021. The change in pitch conditions could significantly influence the strategies employed by both teams during the match.
