Nidahas Trophy, 2018: India's predicted XI to take on Bangladesh

Middle-order:

Suresh Raina:

After making a comeback to the Indian side, the enigmatic left-hander has looked a different batsman. He looks to attack from the very first ball and take on all the bowlers. However, he has not been able to convert his good starts into big scores in the past few matches.

He will look to get a big score under his belt in the upcoming match against Bangladesh and cement his place in the side for the future.

KL Rahul:

The 25-year-old, who played his first T20I against Sri Lanka on Monday, was dismissed in bizarre fashion when he hit the wicket with his foot after getting off to a good start.

He has not been given a lot of chances off late and will hope to impress the selectors in the match against Bangladesh.

Manish Pandey:

The 28-year-old lad from Karnataka has been one of India's most consistent batsmen in the shortest format of the game over the past few months or so.

He guided India to victory in the last two T20Is and will hope to do much of the same in the next T20I against Bangladesh.

If he continues to perform well, he could be the long-term solution to India's middle order problem.
