India will take on their Asian counterpart Bangladesh in the three-match T20I series that starts from November 3 onward at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.
India will be led by Rohit Sharma as Virat Kohli has been rested by the board due to an uninterrupted season since March. For Bangladesh it is a golden chance to unleash a victory from this tour as the Tigers have failed to beat India in 8 matches.
The last time Bangladesh played India in India was in 2016 World T20 where they lost their grip in the game and ended up on the losing side by one run at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Bangladesh will be without the services of their senior players as Shakib-Al Hasan who got banned before the tournament for failing to report a bookie's approach during an IPL game.
It will be a test for Rohit & co as India finalise their team for next year's T20 World Cup in Australia. Prime bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah are not included, as the board wants to look at more bowling options with Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Khaleel Ahmed getting opportunities to prove their talent.
Where does the event take place? The India vs Bangladesh first T20I match takes place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

The first T20I match starts at 7:00 pm IST on Sunday, November 3.
