IND vs BAN 1st T20I: India intent on attacking approach against crestfallen Bangladesh

The intense competition between India and Bangladesh is set to ignite once again as the two teams prepare to face off in the first T20I match of their three-match series on Sunday in Indore. Following India’s dominant performance in the recent two-match Test series, where they swept Bangladesh, the stage is once again set for an exhilarating encounter in the shorter format.

India enter the T20I series brimming with confidence after their success in the Test arena. Under the leadership of T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav, India would aim to build on their recent victories. In their last T20I assignment, India had beaten Sri Lanka to sweep the three-match series 3-0. 

With Rohit Sharma announcing his retirement from T20Is after the T20 World Cup, the team will look to leverage the depth of their squad. The inclusion of promising pace sensation Mayank Yadav adds to their arsenal, providing fresh energy and talent to the lineup. Yadav has already made waves with his performances in the IPL 2024, clocking the season’s quickest delivery at 156.7 km/h. 

On the other hand, Bangladesh aim to turn the tables after their disappointing Test series. With talent and competitive spirit, they will undoubtedly approach the T20Is with an aggressive mindset. Led by experienced Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh will be expected to showcase their fierce approach in T20 cricket.
