Predicted Indian XI for the one-off Test against Bangladesh

Spinners

Ravichandran Ashwin

Back to business?

Back in the sub-continent, spinner friendly conditions and plenty of left-handed batsmen to contain with, one can expect Ravichandran Ashwin to be back amongst the wickets after an ordinary showing during India’s recent overseas tours where he was also made to wait on the sidelines at times.

Ravindra Jadeja

Lack of options might prompt the selectors to pick Ravindra Jadeja as Ashwin’s spin partner. Jadeja missed the Test series in Australia because of a shoulder injury and has never been the same since his comeback. But his past success in the subcontinent might tip the scales in his favour since there aren’t many genuine options to choose from. Will Karn Sharma be given another chance? Or will Akshar Patel be handed a Test cap? We will have to wait and watch!
