IND vs BAN Warm up: Last chance to test the preparations, doubt on Kohli’s playing

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team led by Rohit Sharma will take on Bangladesh on Saturday in a warm-up match before the T20 World Cup 2024. Through this match, Team India will test its preparations. The players of the Indian team have reached America in two batches. Virat Kohli has reached New York shortly before the start of this match. his/her playing in the warm-up match is doubtful. In this match to be played at Nassau Stadium in New York, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal would like to secure a place in the playing XI by playing a big innings, while Arshdeep Singh along with Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah are eager to make a mark in bowling.

The biggest challenge for Team India is to find the combination. Through the warm-up (IND vs BAN) match, it will be looking to make a combination. It has been 17 years since India won the T20 World Cup trophy. It captured the glittering trophy for the first and last time in the year 2007. The Indian team would like to try all the 14 players except Virat in this match because this match has not been officially recognized. A senior BCCI source confirmed Kohli’s arrival in New York and said, ‘Virat Kohli has reached the team hotel and will rest after a long flight.’ Kohli has reached here after a 16-hour flight. his/her participation in the practice match against Bangladesh on Saturday will depend on how he/she is feeling.

Most of the players have got a 2 week break after IPL
Most of the team members have got a two-week break after the IPL. In such a situation, this will be an opportunity for all the players to test their rhythm. Captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid will need to take prudent decisions in two such areas. Even after Jaiswal is in rhythm, giving him/her a place in the XI will be an issue as this may leave out a power-hitter like Shivam Dubey. It is already believed that Jaiswal may have to sit out as this will not only give Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma a chance to open the innings but also Dubey, who plays big shots easily in the last overs, will get a chance in the XI.

We have to be cautious of Shakib’s spin and Mustafizur’s pace
The second opening problem for India will be to decide who will bowl fast along with Jasprit Bumrah. Both Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj did not look in their best rhythm in IPL. In such a situation, the importance of all-rounder Hardik Pandya increases. The team will expect him/her to bowl his/her quota of four overs in this case. The Indian team will have the challenge of dealing with left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman along with Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan on a slow pitch in this practice match. India will play its first match in the T20 World Cup against Ireland on June 5. Team India has been placed in Group A along with USA, Ireland, Canada and Pakistan.
