Will India blaze against the giant killer’s Bangladesh?

After an excellent IPL the selectors of Indian team have decided to rest the senior players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan who have been very crucial in the success of Indian team over the past years .

The responsibility of the team has been handed over to Suresh Raina who has to lead a young team now in Bangladesh in Bangladesh. Even after resting many senior players in the team the team still looks pretty strong in all departments.

Will the Inexperienced side from India perform or perish?

Team India look well settled in all departments. It has a formidable pair in the form of Robin Uthappa and Ajinkya Rahane who had a very successful IPL. Especially Robin Uthappa who is in the form of his life and was also the orange cap holder and Ajinkya Rahane who had very successful outings in overseas last year.

The middle order consists of the likes of Chetshwar Pujara, Wridhhiman Saha, Kedhar Jadhav, Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina. Raina and Saha have come out of the IPL playing the Innings of their life and almost winning the game single handedly for their team. Jadhav and Rayudu also had a good tournament and will be itching to prove themselves in this tour .

The allround department consits of Parvez Rasool, Axar Patel and Stuart Binny. Akshar Patel impressed everyone in the IPL with his class left arm spin and being one of the most economical bowler in the IPL. Stuart Binny and Parvez Rasool also were selected previously in the squad but they didn’t get much opportunities to play for India.

The bowling department consists of Amit Mishra, Vinay Kumar and orange cap holder Mohit Sharma along with Umesh Yadav which will hold good for India.

Will Bangladesh prove the world wrong? 

Bangladeshi team is a very young team with a very young captain.The team comprises the experience of Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza and Shakib Al Hasan along with young guns like Al Amin Hossain, Nasir Hossain. The team had added 2 uncapped players to its squad who are Taskin Ahamed and Mithun Ali. Taskin Ahamed is known to be the fastest bangladeshi bowler and had retrned after a knee injury. And Mithun Ali the wicket keeping batsmen had accumulated 706 runs in 11 innings and made way into the squad.

Adding to its strengths there are players like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahamadullah who can be deadly with the bat and have saved their team in numerous occasions.
