IND vs BAN Team Preview & Squads

India 

India delivered a clinical performance on Sunday, winning the match by 7 wickets despite fielding a relatively young team. Arshdeep Singh, who was bowling first, used his swing to trap the Bangladeshi openers in his first two overs. India’s progress was halted by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 27 runs off of 25 balls. After a three-year hiatus, Varun Chakravarty returned to the field and claimed three wickets in his spell, limiting Bangladesh to 127.

In addition to two debuts, Sanju Samson and Varun Charavarthy returned to the IND team. Samson will open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. The batting player to keep an eye out for is Abhishek Sharma.  Suryakumar Yadav, the skipper, will be ranked third. In this series, India will be missing Shivam Dubey, therefore Nitish Kumar Reddy will get opportunities. Hardik Pandya showed the audience who was the boss in the first game.

Alongside Pandya and Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh will spearhead the bowling attack. After a three-year absence, Varun Chakravarty made a comeback and claimed three wickets. Washington Sunder, who has eight wickets in eight games versus Bangladesh, will be his partner.

Bangladesh will be disappointed with their batting performance in the first game. Parvez Hossain, returning to the T20 squad, failed to make an impact, and Litton Das was dismissed cheaply. To set a substantial total, the visitors will need a strong start in the upcoming match.
