"Hard to leave out Kuldeep Yadav but Jaydev gets his opportunity today"- KL Rahul at the toss of 2nd Test vs Bangladesh
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss in the second Test and chose to bat first. Speaking at the toss, Indian captain KL Rahul opened up that they were not exactly sure how the surface would play. He then revealed that it was difficult to drop Kuldeep Yadav after his stellar performance in the last match. Rahul said:
"To be honest, it's a confusing-looking wicket. There is some grass. We've played some ODIs here and there was help for both the pacers and the spinners. No idea what to expect from this pitch. Taken a bit of advice from the seniors. We have a bit of momentum coming into this game and hopefully, we can use that."
"It's a bit damp so the ball might do a bit in the first session. One change. Kuldeep misses out and Unadkat comes in. Hard to leave out Kuldeep Yadav but Jaydev gets his opportunity today."
Until lunch on Day 1, Bangladesh reached 82/2 in 28 overs.
