India and Bangladesh will cross swords in a two-match Test series from September 19. There is plenty at stake for both teams in the series. The series is vital for India as it will help the Rohit Sharma-led side boost their chances of playing their third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final. The team need to win at least five out of the remaining Test matches to have realistic chances of reaching the final, but they play five Tests in Australia which won’t be an easy test. India thus would want to win all home games, including three against New Zealand to boost their hopes.
Bangladesh, on the other side, would want to pick their first ever Test win over India. This won't be easy by any means but Bangladesh have proved they can be a a tough nut to crack on their day. The Tigers recently defeated Pakistan 2-0 and their confidence heading into the game will be over the moon.
India have named a full-strength squad for the series, showing they are not taking anything for granted. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant made a comeback to the side while the team handed Yash Dayal his maiden cap. Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan were able to retain their place.
