The second and last match of the 2-match Test series being played between India and Bangladesh will be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. The first match of this Test series was played at the Chennai ground, which Team India finished within just 4 days and took a 1-0 lead in the series. At the same time, now their eyes are on a clean sweep in this Test series. The last time the Indian team played a Test match in Kanpur was in the month of November 2021, which was against the New Zealand team, since then there has been a lot of change in the team and due to this there are 7 such players who were part of Team India in the Kanpur Test last time, but are not this time.
From Ajinkya Rahane to Shreyas Iyer, everyone is missing
When the last Test match was played in Kanpur in the year 2021, the captain of the team Virat Kohli did not play the first match and in this situation Ajinkya Rahane took over the captaincy. However, now he is not a part of Team India due to poor form. Shreyas Iyer got a chance to make his Test debut in that match and he played a century innings, apart from this he also managed to score a half-century, for which he also got the title of Player of the Match. However, due to continuous poor form, Iyer is out of the Test team. Ishant Sharma was also a part of Team India in the last Test match held in Kanpur, but the selectors took decisions keeping in mind the new fast bowling attack, due to which Ishant has not been a part of Team India for a long time.
Mayank Agarwal took the responsibility of opening with Shubman Gill for Team India in the last Test match held in Kanpur. However, for the last few days, he has been trying to make a comeback in Team India. Umesh Yadav was also a part of the Indian team in the last Test match held in Kanpur, but due to poor form, he is no longer fitting in the bowling attack. Apart from this, the names of Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha are also included in this list, in which both these players are out of the Indian team due to poor form.
