After a dominant 2-0 Test series sweep over Bangladesh, Team India is all set to lock horns with the visitors in a thrilling three-match T20I series. The action kicks off at the iconic Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday (October 6). With Suryakumar Yadav at the helm of the world’s No. 1 T20I side, India will be eager to continue their winning streak. On the other side, Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, will be hungry for redemption.
India has opted to rest all of its Test stars, making way for a refreshed squad with several key returns. Five players, who missed the last T20I series against Sri Lanka, are back in the fold, alongside debutant Mayank Yadav, the promising LSG pacer who is set to make his international debut in the opener. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya headline the squad, while Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh also make their return fresh off their World Cup triumph.
