The opening Bangladesh Test, beginning in Chennai on September 19 will be the first for India this season. The teams will head to Kanpur for the second Test, followed by a three-match T20I series. Rohit Sharma and his squad are set to host New Zealand for three additional Tests before embarking on their tour to Australia for a highly anticipated five-Test series.
The Australia series is scheduled to kick off on November 22 at Perth’s Optus Stadium, with subsequent matches taking place in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Notably, Rishabh Pant’s last Test outing was against Bangladesh in December 2022, during India’s two-match series on foreign soil. In India’s opening innings, Pant delivered an impressive performance, falling just short of a century with a 93-run contribution. India secured a three-wicket win in that match, sealing the series 2-0.
