IND vs BAN 1st Test: Kuldeep vs Akash Deep vs Axar fight for spot

Red-soil pitches are tricky. With a lot of rain in South India, the pitch is expected to retain some moisture, which would assist seamers. As it happens with red soil pitches, it would assist spinners as the matches progress with cracks developing from Day 3. With no rain prediction and the temperature hovering around 35 degrees Celsius, the pitch will be baked in the sun, making it dry. Lots will depend on how the weather builds up to the 1st Test.
