Sher-e-Bangla Stadium of Mirpur is ready. Just wait a few hours. After these few hours the wait of 7 years will end. the seven years in which Team India Bangladesh Did not play any series after going there. This wait will end on Sunday, December 4, when the Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, will take on the field to clash with the hosts Bangladesh. Team India will duly start its preparations for the World Cup with this series. In such a situation, the question is that who will show power for Team India in the playing XI of the first match.
After Team India’s semi-final defeat in the T20 World Cup, some key players including captain Rohit were rested. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli were prominent in this. In such a situation, due to the return of these players, there is a lot of curiosity about this series. However, Team India is still going into this series without some players due to injury and workload management.
Biggest headache for Rohit
In such a situation, even in this series, the Indian team is not with its full strong squad. However, the top five positions in the batting are almost certain – Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. The question is whether Rishabh Pant will get a chance or not? This question is because one, his form is not good and on that, including him in the playing eleven, there will be a lack of sixth bowling option.
If Team India fields KL Rahul, then it can field him as a wicketkeeper. If Pant is also included then there will definitely be 6 batsmen, but only 5 bowlers will be in the team.
all rounders
However, it is not so easy to leave Pant because Team India does not have any all-rounder whose batting can be fully trusted. Obviously Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar have shown their batting prowess, but none of them play the role of a regular batsman. Despite this, Team India will have to show confidence in them and to fulfill the shortage of 6 bowlers, all five of their batsmen will have to show their strength.
Probable Playing XI
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mohammad Siraj, Umran Malik.
