NEW DELHI: India and Bangladesh are adjusting their training strategies in Chennai ahead of the first Test starting on Thursday. They initially trained on a red-soil pitch for two days but switched to a black-soil pitch on Tuesday.
The red-soil pitch is likely to offer support to fast bowlers. However, the black-soil composition may benefit spinners as the match continues. The Chennai weather, currently very hot and expected to reach the late 30s, could impact the pitch condition.
