India vs Bangladesh Team Analysis
India Team Preview in Bangladesh Tour of India 2024:
Recent Form: Won, Won, Won, Won, Lost
Team India is back in action after a gap of over a month. They last featured in the away ODIs against Sri Lanka, losing the 3-match series 2-0 last month. It was the first of many series for the new coaching staff led by head coach Gautam Gambhir. The newest inclusion for the setup is Morne Morkel who will be starting his stint as bowling coach with the Test series against Bangladesh. Being a fast bowler, the South African holds the responsibility of moulding talented Indian pacers.
India, the current leaders in the World Test Championship standings (2023-25) are set to play their first Test following their 4-1 triumph over England earlier this year. India had several injury concerns and players unavailability, which meant they handed Test caps for Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep, and Devdutt Padikkal. Prolific batter Virat Kohli missed the entire series due to personal commitments while KL Rahul was ruled out after the 1st Test due to injury.
Skipper Rohit Sharma managed the young squad and got the best out of their talents. Yashasvi Jaiswal finished the series on a high note, amassing 712 runs at an average of 89. Sarfaraz Khan made a name for himself, scoring 200 runs in 5 innings. Ravichandran Ashwin who was one of the four players to play all five Tests, emerged as the leading wicket-taker with 26 scalps.
The selection panel led by Ajit Agarkar has picked a solid 16-member squad for the forthcoming series against Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma will continue as the skipper while the likes of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul are back in the team. Following their notable performances against England, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, and Akash Deep have all been retained for the Test series against Bangladesh. The selectors were hugely impressed with the work of left-arm seamer Yash Dayal and hence rewarded him with a maiden national call-up.
Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings, followed by Shubman Gill at No.3. Virat Kohli is back to his usual No.4 position followed by KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and all-rounders. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the attack and he will be accompanied by Mohammed Siraj in the starting eleven. The evergreen duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will pair up again. There will be a toss-up between Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for the 3rd spinner role.
The return of Rishabh Pant to the longest format is the talk of the town as the 26-year-old will play his 1st Test since December 2022.
Bangladesh Team Preview in Bangladesh Tour of India 2024:
Recent form: Won, Won, Lost, Lost, Lost
Squad:
Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Hasan Mahmud, Jaker Ali, Khaled Ahmed, Litton Das (wk), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Nahid Rana, Nayeem Hasan, Shadman Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Zakir Hasan.
Bangladesh are high on confidence following their historic Test series win over Pakistan 2-0 last month. Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men made the impossible possible to write the new script, marking their first-ever Test series win over Pakistan. Credit to the entire team for holding their nerves at a crucial juncture shows their determination and hunger to win. It seemed the 1st Test could easily be ended as a draw, but their bowlers turned the game entirely on the fifth day, bowling Pakistan out for 146 and easily chasing down the target of 30.
When things seemed uphill in the 2nd Test after losing 6 wickets for 26 runs, Low-order batting came to the team’s rescue, guiding them to a score of 262. The combination of Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana created wonders as the duo picked up 9 wickets between them in the 2nd innings. Later the batters ensured a comprehensive 6 wickets victory while chasing 185. All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz was adjudged the Player of the Match for his monumental performances (155 runs and 10 wickets).
Injured left arm seamer Shoriful Islam has been ruled out of the two Tests against India due to injury, which he sustained in the 1st Test against Pakistan. He will be replaced by wicket-keeper batter Jaker Ali which is the only change from the 16-man squad that toured Pakistan. Indian conditions aren’t ideal for pace, hence they picked a batter over the seamer. Najmul Hossain Shanto will continue to lead the side. Seniors Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are all part of the troop. They have never beaten India in the longest format, losing 7 out of their previous 8 meetings and it’s now the best time to write history.
