IND vs BAN - Rohit has a chance to create history that could never happen in Chennai

IND vs BAN: Team India will once again step on the field in white jersey at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium from September 19. After a full 6 months, Indian players will play Test cricket and will take forward their campaign to reach the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time. This time Team India is facing Bangladesh, which is generally not considered a very difficult challenge, but the Bangladesh team, which won the Test series 2-0 in Pakistan, cannot be underestimated this time. On top of that, a big challenge is the month of September, which has never brought success for India in the Test matches played in Chennai. Now captain Rohit Sharma has a chance to do something historic.

Chennai did not support in September

2 Test matches are to be played between India and Bangladesh, the first match of which is in Chennai. Although Team India is a contender for a clean sweep in this series, but this time a challenge is expected from Bangladesh. Now how much challenge Bangladesh gives to Team India will be known only from 19th but Team India will definitely have to deal with the challenging history of Chennai in the month of September. Yes, Team India has never won any of the Test matches played in Chennai in the month of September till date.

The first Test match was played in Chennai in 1934 and since then a total of 34 Test matches have been played. In this, the Indian team has won 15 Tests, 11 have been drawn and it has faced defeat 7 times. Only 3 Test matches have been played on this ground in the month of September but the Indian team has not won even once. Out of these, 2 matches were drawn, while 1 match was tied. In September 1979, the match between India and Australia was drawn. Then in September 1982, the match with Sri Lanka was also drawn. At the same time, in 1986, the match between Team India and Australia ended in a thrilling tie.

Will Rohit be able to change history?

Since 1986, no Test match has been played in Chennai in the month of September. That means Team India has not won a match in September but has also not lost a match. Still, considering the strong record of Team India on the Chennai ground, such a performance in the month of September is a bit surprising. Now captain Rohit Sharma has a chance to change this history. Rohit can become the first Indian captain who can end this strange series of September.
