One man who has been in the news in recent times is Ajinkya Rahane, albeit for his inconsistent run of form. A vital cog in India's middle order, Rahane has often been guilty of throwing away his wicket after a good start, and yet, he makes for a promising case to bring about a lot of points if included in a Dream11 side.

With most team owners likely to accommodate in-form opener Rohit Sharma, skipper Virat Kohli, and Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara in the XI, Rahane's contributions could make all the difference.

Rahane has enjoyed batting against Bangladesh in Test matches, having amassed 208 runs from three innings at a commendable average of 69.33. Additionally, he will be full of confidence coming into this series, having scored 115 and 59 in his last two innings against South Africa.

With the likes of Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari waiting to make the most use of opportunities handed out to them, Rahane will also need to prove himself in the middle order, which will be a massive push for him to do well in this two-match series.
