IND vs BDESH 2024/25 India vs Bangladesh Match Preview: A succeed would mark the line for them with Bangladesh looking for batting development
Great picture: India's hitting template
Despite two preppy and plenty of new faces in the area, India steamrolled Bangladesh in the first T20I in Gwalior, chasing down 128 inside 12 innings. India was always the favorite, but this also demonstrated how much Bangladesh is behind the slope in T20I cricket.
Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir continued the striking style set by Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, who helped them win the T20 World Cup earlier this year, with the way they played. Apart from Nitish Kumar Reddy ( 16 not out off 15 balls ), everyone batted at a strike rate above 150. Also, they no longer suffer from the trouble of their batters no chipping in with the game. Their XI in the first T20I had as many as eight ball choices, things Suryakumar called a "happy headache".
On the other hand, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto admitted that his pitchers do not know how to score 180 in a T20I, as they are used to playing on 140-150 batters at home. But they must overcome one obstacle if they want to keep the set going.
If they need more motivation, the latest series will become Mahmudullah's next in this format. He retires as Bangladesh's most reduced T20I player, and they will prefer to take him off on a positive statement.
Kind guide
In the spotlight: Hardik Pandya and Najmul Hossain Shanto
After the 2022 T20 World Cup, when Rohit took a journey from the structure, Hardik Pandya looked all set to change him as India's continuous T20I captain. That did n't pan out. Perhaps after Rohit's T20I pensions, the candidates went with Suryakumar. Hardik, however, seemed to have settled into the position of an outlet, first at Gujarat Titans and then the Indian team. But in Gwalior, he showed he could still be as harmful as any flour, smashing 39 certainly out off only 16 balloons. Before that, he opened the ball and took 1 for 26 from four wickets.
If Hardik personified India's daring approach, Najmul Hossain Shanto's pitches showed what Bangladesh need to function on. arriving at No. 3, Shanto may manage just 27 operates, and two limitations, despite facing 25 balls. A purpose behind his cautious view could be that Bangladesh had lost two innings inside the first three innings, but even then a strike price of 108 was very small. To transform Bangladesh's wealth, the captain will have to lead by example.
Team reports: Miraz to start?
India may substitute Harshit Rana for Mayank Yadav and Tilak Varma for Reddy to offer as many people a chance as possible.
India ( probable ): 1 Sanju Samson (wk ), 2 Abhishek Sharma, 3 Suryakumar Yadav ( capt ), 4 Tilak Varma, 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Riyan Parag, 7 Rinku Singh, 8 Washington Sundar, 9 Harshit Rana, 10 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Varun Chakravarthy
After the first T20I, network broadcaster Tamim Iqbal said he had suggested to Shanto to meet Mehidy Hasan Miraz in order to discuss the possibility of opening the show with him. Does Bangladesh listen to their former captain, or stay with what they have, or take in Tanzid Hasan for Parvez Hossain Emon?
Bangladesh ( probable ): 1 Parvez Hossain Emon/Tanzid Hasan, 2 Litton Das (wk ), 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto ( capt ), 4 Towhid Hridoy, 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Jaker Ali, 7 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 8 Rishad Hossain, 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
Pitch and problems: A high-scoring location
The 200-mark was broken in the majority of India's T20I batsmen in the five IPL 2024 games played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. With only 53 remaining, Litton Das will need to reach the 2000 T20I run record for Bangladesh. Shanto needs 65 to attain 1000.

" Over the past few years, our batsmen have done a fantastic job." In the first game, I do n't believe we did that well. We should n't doubt ourselves based on one game. That'd be cruel. We have to come out of that area and try to win the game. We made an aggressive use of the wicket. We have to be more structured, which may serve us better".
