After six months of absence from red-ball cricket, team India will return to action against Bangladesh in a multi-format series. The series will begin with a two-match test series. India’s last Test series was against England in March, which the host went on to win 4-1. On the other hand, Bangladesh enters the series after registering a historic 2-0 win over Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
Bangladesh have never defeated India in a Test match till date, but they would be hoping to turn around the tables just like they did in Pakistan two weeks ago.
The series is vital for India's chances to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time. To stand a chance of making it to the final, the Rohit Sharma-led team needs to win at least five out of the remaining 10 Test matches
Besides aiming for WTC final India, the series is also an opportunity for India to get their combinations right, for their assignments against New Zealand, and Australia. Rohit Sharma & Co. have a nice opportunity to claim a clean sweep and raise their win percentage in the ICC WTC points table.
