India vs Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI, Dream11 Team Prediction, Full Squad, Players List

As far as India’s playing XI is concerned, the Gautam Gambhir-coached side is expected to remain unchanged. However, with the effectiveness of spinners diminishing over time in the UAE, India may need to reconsider their three-spinner strategy. The trio of Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav were effective against Pakistan in the first Group A game, but since then, the combination has not been at its best as a spin unit. This can be attributed to the UAE surfaces, and playing one of Arshdeep Singh or Harshit Rana in place of a spinner would not be a bad call, especially given Jasprit Bumrah’s recent form, which has made his bowling slightly easier to read.

The other point of discussion is Sanju Samson’s place in the XI. The right-hander, who was successful batting up the order in T20Is, has been inconsistent in the lower middle order. His role has also remained unclear ever since Shubman Gill replaced him at the top. With specialist finishers like Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh waiting in the wings, there is growing pressure on Samson to secure his spot.
