Key Battles to Watch:

1. Virat Kohli to face Bangladesh Spinners
   Virat Kohli, looking to cement his legacy as one of the best contemporary Test batsmen, faces a stern challenge against Bangladesh’s spin duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Though Kohli has been dominant in limited-overs cricket, spin has occasionally troubled him in Tests, making this battle crucial for his form and India’s middle order.
2. Mushfiqur Rahim to face Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja
   Bangladesh’s veteran batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has shown excellent temperament against India, averaging over 55 in Test matches played in India. His ability to play spin and keep Bangladesh’s innings together will be tested by India’s world-class spin duo, Ashwin and Jadeja, especially on turning tracks.
3. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will face Nahid Rana
   Bangladesh’s fast bowler Nahid Rana, known for his pace and bounce, will be a threat on surfaces that assist seamers. Rohit Sharma and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will face a stern test against Rana, who regularly clocks speeds around 145-150 kph.
4. Jasprit Bumrah battles Shadman Islam
   Jasprit Bumrah, who is back from an injury will lead India’s pace attack. Bangladesh’s Shadman Islam, known for his patience at the crease, will have his work cut out for him. Bumrah’s ability to generate movement and his unpredictability in deliveries will make him a formidable challenge for the Bangladesh opener.

Bangladesh’s Threatening Trio

1. Nahid Rana
   Rana’s ability to generate pace and bounce was crucial in Bangladesh’s victory over Pakistan. His five-wicket haul, including the prized wicket of Babar Azam, has made him a key bowler to watch against India’s strong batting lineup.
2. Mehidy Hasan Miraz
   Mehidy is Bangladesh’s rising all-round star, contributing with both bat and ball. His recent form including 10 wickets and crucial runs against Pakistan indicates that he will be pivotal in Bangladesh’s challenge to India’s home dominance.
3. Mushfiqur Rahim
   Rahim’s consistency in Test cricket makes him one of Bangladesh’s biggest hopes. His ability to rotate the strike against spinners and dominate long innings could frustrate India’s bowlers, making him a player to watch.
