India Hosts Bangladesh in T20I Series Opener

India is set to begin a three-match T20I series against Bangladesh on October 6 at the newly inaugurated Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. With several key players rested, Suryakumar Yadav will captain a squad featuring newcomers Mayank Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Harshit Rana, who are eager to make their international debuts. The series offers an opportunity for players to enhance their IPL value ahead of the upcoming mega auction and assess bench strength, particularly in the pace department. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is navigating changes, including the retirement of former captain Shakib Al Hasan. The match will be played under clear weather conditions, promising a thrilling encounter, although heightened security measures are in place due to local protests. Fans are excited as this marks India's return to Gwalior for international cricket for the first time since 2010, with historical dominance over Bangladesh in T20Is adding to the anticipation.
