Banglesh have an uphill task of defeating India at home, something only Australia has once mand since 2013. To make matters worse, Banglesh are without two of ir most experienced Test players, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. While Shakib was banned by ICC for failing to report corruption, Tamim opted out of tour due to birth of his second child. Banglesh will look at series as an opportunity to give young guns a chance and might hope y can unearth some gems on this tour.

Ind vs Ban: Pitch and Wear Report

pitch in Indore is kwn to assist batsman. re’s always a bit of bounce encouraging batsman to play ir strokes. re’s a tinge of grass on surface, so pacers are expected to make most of new ball. skies are clear and wear is warm but pleasant and expected temperature is around 20 degree Celsius. Holkar Stium in Indore has only hosted one Test so far when New Zealand toured India in 2016. India handed New Zealand a mammoth 321-run defeat after Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane scored mammoth hundreds. Ashwin picked up his career-best figures of 13/140 in match.

Ind vs Ban Probable XI

With pitch having a tinge of grass, India are expected to go with 3 pacers in a 5-bowler attack as y did in last 2 Test matches against South Africa,

India: Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jeja, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yav and Mohamm Shami.

Banglesh have to make a choice between Saif Hassan and Imrul Kayes at top-order. Banglesh will be tempted to play Saif, who has been in good form and recently scored a double-century in National Cricket League. Mossek Hossain has reportedly left for Dhaka due to a family emergency and is unavailable for match. Ar major decision for Banglesh would be selecting one of Mustafizur Rahman and Ebot Hossain to partner Abu Jayed. Considering Mustafizur’s torrid run against India in T20Is, Hossain could get a look in.

Banglesh: Saif Hassan, Shman Islam, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mohamm Mithun, Liton Das, Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam, Abu Jayed and Ebat Hossain.
