IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction: IND vs BAN 1st Test: Toss coming up at 8:30 AM
India will battle it out with Bangladesh in the first Test starting on Wednesday (December 14). India lost the ODI series 2-1 and will be aiming to bounce back on in the Test series. The KL Rahul-led are still in with the chance of making the World Test Championship (WTC) final but need to win all their remaining six Tests. India have a good record against Bangladesh in Tests and would be hoping to keep that record intact. Check Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks between IND vs BAN.
India won’t have Rohit Sharma, Mohammad Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja for the first Test, but the KL Rahul-led side are not short of firepower. With a clean record of nine wins against Bangladesh, India will aim to start well in the first Test in Chattogram. The good news for the team is Rishabh Pant has joined that squad. The southpaw’s inclusion will be a massive boost for India in the batting order. Ravi Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara return in the longest format and will lend some solid experience.
India are yet to lose a Test in Chattogram, while the hosts would be aiming to better the record in that venue. Bangladesh have lost 13 of their 22 Tests, they have not won in the previous five encounters in Chattogram. India will be the favorites to win but have to be wary of the hosts’ potent spin attack.
