Bangladesh’s upcoming two-match Test series against India presents a unique challenge for the team as they transition from the Kookaburra ball to the SG ball. The SG ball, used in India, possesses a prominent seam, unlike the Kookaburra ball, which poses different challenges for batters.
Litton Das, a key batter for Bangladesh, acknowledged the need to adapt to the SG ball’s behavior. He noted that the SG ball is harder to play against when it gets old, unlike the Kookaburra ball, which becomes easier to play with age.
Das emphasized the importance of moving forward from Bangladesh’s historic Test series win over Pakistan and focusing on the upcoming challenge against India. He stressed the need for media support in this regard, requesting them to refrain from dwelling on the past success.
The first Test between Bangladesh and India will commence in Chennai on September 19, followed by the second Test in Kanpur from September 27. Bangladesh will aim to build on their recent success and adapt to the SG ball’s unique characteristics to challenge India on their home turf.
