IND vs BAN, 1st T20I

India will face Bangladesh in the first T20I of the series at New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior on October 6.

After a fantastic 2-0 win by Rohit Sharma and his team over Bangladesh in the Test series, all eyes are now on the T20Is, which kick off on Sunday, October 6. Some regular T20I players will be missing from the squad, giving some new faces a chance to shine in the upcoming series.

Big names like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj, and Axar Patel are taking a break to prepare for the upcoming Test against New Zealand. This means it's time for the young guns to step up and show what they've got.

As for Bangladesh, they're starting a new chapter without their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who recently announced his break from T20Is and Tests. Najmul Hossain Shanto and his team will be looking to bounce back from their Test defeat and put on a better show in the T20I series.
