IND vs BAN: Will Bumrah, Hardik and Rahul be rested? India’s playing 11 could be like this against Bangladesh

Indian predicted playing XI Against Bangladesh: Indian team became the first team to reach the final of Asia Cup 2023. Team India got the ticket for the final by defeating Sri Lanka on Tuesday (12 September). However, before the final, the team has to play the third match against Bangladesh in Super-4. The result of this match will not affect India in any way. In such a situation, many big changes can be seen in India’s playing eleven in the match against Bangladesh. 

In the match against Bangladesh, some senior and star players of the team may be given rest and the players who have been warming the bench till now may get a chance in their place. From batting to bowling department, many changes can be seen in the team. Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey had also hinted in the press conference that changes could be made in India’s playing eleven for the match against Bangladesh. 

These could be possible changes

India’s wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul may be rested in the match against Bangladesh. Suryakumar Yadav can become a part of the team in place of Rahul. Rahul returned from injury and batted and kept wickets in both the consecutive matches. In Rahul’s absence, Ishan Kishan will play the role of keeper. 

Apart from this, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya can also be given rest. In place of Pandya, fast bowler Prasidh Krishna may get a chance because Axar Patel, who was part of the playing eleven against Sri Lanka, has a strong possibility of being in the playing eleven against Bangladesh also. 

There can be big changes in the bowling department

The team’s main fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj may be rested in the match against Bangladesh. In place of Bumrah, Shardul Thakur can fill the gap of Shami and Siraj. Experienced pacer Shami has played only one match against Nepal so far, so it is almost certain that he will not play. Shardul Thakur, who was out of the team against Sri Lanka, may get another chance. 

India’s probable playing eleven against Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Famous Krishna.
