In the first T20 International of the three-match series, Indian cricket team-led by Suryakumar Yadav will lock horns with Bangladesh at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia new cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday (October 6). With Tests against New Zealand given preference, the likes of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel have been rested from the T20s against Bangladesh.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are the two big names in the squad while the other two who were part of the India’s 2024 men’s World Cup unit are Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh.
On batting front, Abhishek Singh will partner Sanju Samson as an opener followed by Suryakumar Yadav, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya. In the spin bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi is either being assisted with Varun Chakaravarthy or Washington Sundar, who might get an upper hand due his bowling prowess in powerplay.
With square boundaries bigger than straight one, both Delhi pacers – Mayank Yadav and Harshit Rana — might make their India debut.
Bangladesh Playing 11 probables: Litton Kumer Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Probable debutants in India Playing XI: Mayank Yadav
The absence of big names has provided an opportunity for youngsters to showcase their potential. Among them, all eyes will be on pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who is expected to unleash his raw speed. Having consistently clocked speeds in excess of 150 kmph during his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had caught the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament.
Probable debutants in India Playing XI: Harshit Rana
Alongside Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar could also make their India debuts during the course of the series.
Another chance for Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag has played six T20s since July but has been unable to replicate the brilliant form he displayed in IPL 2024. The Bangladesh series presents him with another opportunity to make a strong impact.
Toss-up between Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi
The series will also mark the return of mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, whose international career came to an abrupt halt after the disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE. The other specialist spinner in the squad is Ravi Bishnoi, creating a competitive scenario between the two.
Bangladesh team news
It is almost impossible to fill the shoes of a player like Shakib Al Hasan, but Bangladesh must now plan for life without their champion all-rounder. Shakib recently announced his retirement from Tests and T20s, leaving a significant void in the team.
Although Bangladesh were outplayed in the preceding Test series, the majority of their T20 players were not part of those matches, so they will not carry any baggage into the white-ball leg of the tour.
