New Delhi. After the announcement of the Indian team for the Test series against Bangladesh, the name of Yash Dayal is being discussed the most. This is the only name in the 16-member Indian team whose selection surprised cricket lovers. After this, the story of Yash Dayal's comeback started floating on the internet. But believe me, when the Test match will be played from September 19, the chances of Yash Dayal getting a place in the playing eleven are negligible. Let's know why.
The first test match between India and Bangladesh is to be held in Chennai. This has also been the favorite ground of the Indian team. India has won six of the last 10 test matches played in Chennai and three have been drawn. During this period, there was only one match in which India had to face defeat. The Chennai pitch has always been helpful for spinners. In such a situation, there is every possibility that the Indian team will play this match with three spinners and two pacers. In this combination, Yash Dayal will hardly get a place in the playing eleven.
There are 4 spinners in the team, one is sure to sit on the bench
Talking about the Indian bowling, 3 spin all-rounders, one specialist spinner and 3 fast bowlers have been selected for the Bangladesh series. Ravichandran Ashwin is certain to play as the spin all-rounder. Any two of Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav will play. By the way, it should not be a surprise if these four spinners play on the spin pitch of Chennai. However, the possibility of this is low. For the last seven-eight years, India has been giving a lot of importance to fast bowlers. In such a situation, the possibility of playing with 4 spinners and one pacer is very low.
Bumrah-Siraj's claim is strong
If India goes with 3 spinners and 2 pacers, then Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj will be in contention before Yash Dayal. Earlier it was being said that Bumrah could be rested in this series. This did not happen. Bumrah is in the team and there is no reason to bench him. He will play. The same is the case with Mohammad Siraj. The Indian team is playing its first Test match after about six months and in such a situation it would like to enter the field with full strength.
Yash Dayal will get a chance in the playing eleven only if India considers Bangladesh a weak team and wants to experiment. India has to play 10 Test matches in the next four months. It is possible that the team management will not play both Bumrah and Siraj together at least in the Test matches to be held in India. They would like to try a young bowler along with a senior. Only if this happens, Yash Dayal will get a place in the playing eleven.
