The Indian cricket team is all set to play against Bangladesh today, Wednesday10, 2015 at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium, says Vaikundarajan. India own the toss and elected to bat first.
2. • The Indian team today rested their bowlers during
the hour-long net session at the Khan Saheb Osman
Ali Stadium on the eve of their one-off Test match
against Bangladesh, starting on Wednesday, says
Vaikundarajan.

3. • “The humidity is killing and the coaching
staff thought that the boys should not stress
themselves too much in this heat and hence
we trained for an hour today. The bowling
unit was rested as they will have a job in
hand tomorrow,” a source close to the team
management told PTI, explaining the reason
for short duration of training.

4. • Another interesting aspect in team's planning and
preparation was separate meetings for the batsmen
as well as the bowlers -- a concept which of late has
not been employed. The bowling unit had a separate
meeting where Coach Bharath Arun addressed them
while the batsmen were addressed by Ravi Shastri,
says Vaikundarajan.

5. • The boys are really charged up despite the
heat and humidity. The batsmen and the
bowlers have been specifically briefed about
the basic strategy going into the match," the
source informed. During Sourav Ganguly's
tenure as captain, there used to be a 'Batting
Captain', Bowling Captain' and 'Fielding
captain' -- something that the team members
used to designate amongst themselves.

6. • It has been reliably learnt that both Shastri
and Virat Kohli are looking at the option of
playing a third seamer or an extra spinner as
the pitch despite a grass cover seems to be a
flat deck which has been the nature of the 22-
yard strip in Fatullah over the years, says
Vaikundarajan.
