India’s possible playing XI to face Bangladesh

India’s possible playing XI to face Bangladesh:

Will Karun Nair get a chance to play after scoring a 300?

The selectors did a fantastic job by picking a strong side to face Bangladesh keeping the four-match series against Australia in mind. The team management doesn't need to ponder a lot in picking the best possible XI to face Mushfiqur Rahim and co.

If the wicket doesn't have anything for the spinners, it won't be a surprise if all-rounder Hardik Pandya gets the nod ahead of Jayant Yadav in spite of the Haryana all-rounder's great start to his Test career. But, it is highly unlikely that Virat Kohli will go ahead with three fast bowlers at home and Pandya might have to wait for some more time to get his Test cap.

It will be interesting to see whether Kohli decides to include both Ajinkya Rahane and Karun Nair at the expense of the third spinner, a scenario which looks improbable.

KL Rahul

Cheteshwar Pujara
