India's Pace Trio Surprises in Chennai Test Opener

3 Pacers on a spin track? What is India’s play

As team India returns to action in test cricket after over six months, they have decided to go with a pace attack on a traditional spin track of MA Chidambaram Stadium. 

This decision has taken all the fans by surprise and sparked debate across social media, with everyone wanting to know what’s India’s play here.

This time the composition of the pitch is a bit different from before, as it has been prepared with a significant amount of red soil, which is known to produce more bounce.

Management considered these factors while putting together the high quality pace attack. This may also be a preparation for their encounter with the Aussies later this year.

Australia, known for its fast and bouncy pitches, tests the batsmen. And as India aim to get their third consecutive test series win in Australia, they are ensuring that their pacers are at their prime form.

This can also be to disrupt Bangladesh’s momentum as they come in red form after dominating Pakistan for a 2-0 series clean sweep.

Nevertheless, India also has a strong spin attack and will be looking to get a series win and maintain their home record.
