Will It Be A Spinners' Paradise? India And Bangladesh Brace For Kanpur Challenge

India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by defeating Bangladesh in the Chennai Test. Team India had given Bangladesh a target of 515 runs. But the Bangladesh team was out after scoring 234 runs.
In this match, the Bangladesh batters couldn't understand the spin-duo of Ashwin-Jadeja. Meanwhile, the trouble of Bangladesh players is going to increase even more. A big update has come out regarding the pitch of Green Park.
Pitch Scenario
