Cheteshwar Pujara The Captain? KL Rahul got injured in the net session today, and he is now doubtful for the second Test. Rahul was a stand-in captain for Team India after Rohit Sharma got ruled out earlier. If Rahul doesn't recover, Cheteshwar Pujara will be leading the team.

Shakib Al Hasan to BowlShakib Al Hasan could bowl for only 12 overs in the first innings, and none in the second because of his recurrent rib injury. Bangladesh sorely lacked the bowling resources, but the coach Allan Donaldo said Sjakib is now ready to bowl.
