Ahead of IND vs BAN T20Is, let's have a look at team India's predicted playing XI for the first T20I between India and Bangladesh.
Star batters Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma are likely to open the innings for India in first T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior. Their left-right batting combination will make it challenging for bowlers to establish their line and length. Suryakumar Yadav, known as Mr. 360, is expected to bat at number 3, promising an exciting display of fireworks for the fans.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya is expected to bat at number four. In addition to batting, he will also be a key member of the bowling unit, as he is now fully fit and able to bowl his complete quota of four overs.
Shivam Dube is likely to bat at number five, where he can dazzle the opposition with his explosive hitting during the death overs. If he gets the nod, it may mean Riyan Parag will miss out on a spot in the playing XI.
Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi are likely to lead the spin department. In the pace bowling department, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Mayank Yadav are expected to have a chance to play.
India's predicted playing 11 for IND vs BAN 1st T20I: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Mayank Yadav.
