In the T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Bangladesh, the fate of the game was decided by a toss. Bangladesh’s Najmul Shanto won the toss and chose to bowl first against Rohit Sharma’s India. The Indian team has been struggling so far in the tournament, with both Sharma and Virat Kohli failing to provide good starts for their team. They have tried to increase the scoring rate but have not been successful.
Left-hander Shivam Dube, who was selected for the World Cup squad to hit sixes in the middle and death overs, is also under pressure. The pressure is mounting on him as he looks to make a mark on the international stage.
On the bowling side, India is expected to stick with their combination after giving crafty left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav a chance in the first game of the tournament. The pitches in the Caribbean have been supportive to spinners, so India is playing three spinners at the Kensington Oval. This pattern is likely to continue with Kuldeep retaining his place over Mohammed Siraj.
The playing XI for India includes Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh
