3 things India can learn from Bangladesh Test team

3. Trusting specialist roles over all-rounder dependence

Bangladesh's bowling in Darwin was built on a clear pace-spin combination rather than relying on all-rounders to fill gaps. Mehidy took 5/66 with his off-spin in Australia's second innings while also scoring a half-century in the first innings, contributing heavily as the side's all-rounder.

India have often found themselves fielding multiple all-rounders in their sides in overseas Test matches. While it helps in lengthening the tail and adding more bowling options, it removes the balance of the side, where there might be a heavier dependence on the specialists to perform. A healthy balance of specialist batters or bowlers in the side always helps in adding quality to the side, which sometimes factors in better than depth.
