IND Vs BAN 1st ODI Playing 11: The Asian Giants now ready to lock horns in the ODI series after facing each other in a nail-biting T20 World Cup clash last month, which India won.

Indian side, however, toured New Zealand after the World Cup without their star players, and The return of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul, three of the Men in Blue’s regulars for ODIs, will help the team.

Senior pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Mohammed Shami will still remain absent, thus Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar will likely to lead the bowling department in the IND Vs BAN ODI series.

It will be exciting to watch whether India decides to use a sixth bowling option, in which case Shikhar Dhawan might have to be dropped and Rahul might have to open, reducing the depth of the batting order.

Bangladesh, the hosts, on the other hand, will play their first bilateral series, post the exit from T20 World Cup in Australia.
