Team India face a stern test in Bangladesh on Wednesday, as the two teams hope to vie for a berth in the semifinals of T20 World Cup 2022. Both sides are currently tied on four points each, so it's going to be a winner takes all match at Adelaide on October 2.
The Men in Blue began their T20 World Cup campaign with wins over Pakistan and Netherlands, but a loss against South Africa has put Rohit Sharma's side in a spot of bother. KL Rahul's form has been a major concern for the side.
With just 22 runs scored in 3 matches, the 29-year-old has endured a tough tournament so far, and while many are calling for Rahul to be dropped, the Indian management continues to back him.

"I think he is a fantastic player, he has a proven track record. I think he has been batting superbly. These things can happen in T20Is, it has not been that easy for top-order batters. This tournament has been challenging, I think he was brilliant in the practice games against the likes of Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc. He got 60 or 70. I am hoping that it all clicks together in the next few games," said Dravid in his pre-match presser ahead of the Bangladesh clash.
