This is just the ninth instance of a visiting team putting India in to bat first in a Test match in India. Six of the previous eight ended in draws, while Australia registered 10-wicket wins in the other two: at Wankhede in 2001 and at the Eden Gardens in 1969.
The last time India played three quicks in a home Test was also against Bangladesh. They had Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami in their XI in both Tests against them in 2019 - in Indore and Kolkata (D/N) respectively.
The players and the match officials stride out for the national anthems.
Ashwin: (4 Tests in Chennai - his most memorable) The game against England was a game played after the Covid break, the first time the crowd was back. I didn't expect that kind of a reception. For that game to turn out the way it turned out for me was quite special. It's always been an incredible ground for me, great memories, very old memories as well. Excitement and ambition always remain the same when I take the field.
