On the other hand, Bangladesh would like to make history by sweeping India. In the last two matches due to the brilliant innings of Mehedi Hasan Bangladesh has won matches. These are wonderful innings by Mehedi Hasan.

In this match, the biggest challenge for the Indian team is the injured players. There was very little time between the match against New Zealand and the ODI series against Bangladesh. At that time the Indian team had 20 players. At present, the Indian team has 14 players fit due to injury. This is a big problem. Within 1 week, the condition of the Indian team worsened due to injury. For the last ODI, 6 players have been ruled out of the match due to injury.
There was a shortage of bowlers in the Indian team, due to which spinner Kuldeep Yadav was included in the Indian team. Kuldeep Yadav has taken 118 wickets in 72 ODIs. Kuldeep Yadav is an experienced bowler so he has been included in the team. Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar have been ruled out of the match due to injury. Indian team’s regular captain Rohit Sharma will also be absent for the third ODI after getting injured during fielding. In his absence, KL Rahul will lead the Indian team.
Akshar Patel also could not play the first match of this series due to a rib injury. Rishabh Pant was also given rest due to injury. For today’s match, it remains to be seen whether captain KL Rahul starts the innings or Ishan Kishan is included in the playing eleven. As a second option, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan can also start the Indian innings. Rahul Tripathi can also be given a chance in the playing eleven. If a batsman is included in the team, then Rajat Patidar can get a chance.
Indian bowling was handled by Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Umran Malik, Washington Sundar, and Aksar Patel. During the first match, the poor bowling of the Indian team was seen. At one time, when Bangladesh needed 51 runs and had one wicket left, the Indian team could not manage to take that wicket.
During the second match too, Bangladesh lost 6 wickets for 69 runs. Even after that Bangladesh crossed the score of 200 runs. Bangladesh is ready for this match with high spirits after winning the previous matches. It remains to be seen whether captain KL Rahul can save the Indian team from the embarrassment of a clean sweep or not.
