India start their prep for the World Cup with a full-strength side playing in ODIs after a while. They are still missing the likes of Jadeja and Bumrah, but most of the players who could be guaranteed a spot next October are around. After ages, the trio of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are back together. Suryakumar though misses out after being given a break for the ongoing ODIs.

Bangladesh are without Tamim Iqbal and now have a chance of trying out a new captain. Litton Das takes the leadership spot, as Bangladesh head back into a format they are still pretty good at. They are struggling in Tests and T20Is, but ODIs remain a format they are strong in, given their squad is pretty intact.

BAN vs IND Key Players

Rohit Sharma

The knives are out on Rohit Sharma. His form, fitness, age, leadership and reflexes are all in question as his intent goes missing. In ODI Cricket, Rohit Sharma still remains a threat, given the time he has to get settled in. With a lot of criticism going towards him though, Rohit Sharma does not have too many quick fixes for the given situation and will have to find a way to maintain consistency in performances while inspiring as a leader.

Litton Das

Litton Das being announced as the captain indicates Bangladesh’s plans for the batter. He is a pretty talented cricketer and has proved his worth with some intent in his batting at the top. Das will want to deliver in his first game as skipper, and is a huge threat in what looks a very deep Bangladesh batting line-up.
