IND vs BAN 1st Test: Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium is known for its spin-friendly nature. It is one of the few grounds in India where bowlers dominate the batters. The red soil pitch gives a lot of assistance to the spinners. As a result, the skipper winning the toss in MA Chidambaram Stadium likes to have a bat first to get the benefit of good batting conditions early in the match.
