#1 Khaleel in for Chahal
Bangladesh in their batting order have at least 3 to 4 left-handers, and hence it would not be prudent to play two wrist-spinners against them. In spite of Chahal having a good googly in his armory, it seems highly unlikely that the captain Rohit Sharma would take the risk of playing him in this match. Hence, unfortunately, due to the above reason, Chahal might have to watch the action from the bench today.
Khaleel Ahmed would be a good replacement for him. Having picked up 3 wickets on his debut against Hong Kong, it was quite a surprise that after such an excellent match-winning performance, he was dropped against Pakistan in the 2nd match. Having turned an almost lost match for India against Hong Kong into a victory, Khaleel will be a good replacement for Chahal against Bangladesh today.
