In the first T20 International of the three-match series, Indian cricket team-led by Suryakumar Yadav will lock horns with Bangladesh at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia new cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday (October 6). With Tests against New Zealand given preference, the likes of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel have been rested from the T20s against Bangladesh.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are the two big names in the squad while the other two who were part of the India’s 2024 men’s World Cup unit are Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh.
On the eve of the India vs Bangladesh 1st T20 International, captain Suryakumar confirmed that Sanju will be the second opener.

In the spin bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi is either being assisted with Varun Chakaravarthy or Washington Sundar, who might get an upper hand due his bowling prowess in powerplay.
“Having more than one quality spinner in the team is a happy headache to have,” Surya told mediapersons ahead of 1st T20 in Gwalior.
Surya didn’t reveal the playing 11 combination of the team. However, he said that Mayank Yadav is fully fit and ready to go.
“It’s a great opportunity for youngsters. Whenever they have played for there states or IPL franchise, they have done well. There’s nothing different to do here. Mayank is a X factor, he has the extra pace. BCCI has started to work on managing players. We have to nurture players like him, he is a special talent. Mayank is fully fit and fine right now,” Surya said on being asked whether Surya would debut on Sunday.
But if one look at the practice session, it could be observed that only one of the two would debut on Sunday.

Probable debutants in India Playing XI: Mayank Yadav
The absence of big names has provided an opportunity for youngsters to showcase their potential. Among them, all eyes will be on pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who is expected to unleash his raw speed. Having consistently clocked speeds in excess of 150 kmph during his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had caught the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament.
Probable debutants in India Playing XI: Harshit Rana
Alongside Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar could also make their India debuts during the course of the series.
Another chance for Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag has played six T20s since July but has been unable to replicate the brilliant form he displayed in IPL 2024. The Bangladesh series presents him with another opportunity to make a strong impact.
Toss-up between Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi
The series will also mark the return of mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, whose international career came to an abrupt halt after the disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE. The other specialist spinner in the squad is Ravi Bishnoi, creating a competitive scenario between the two.
Bangladesh team news
It is almost impossible to fill the shoes of a player like Shakib Al Hasan, but Bangladesh must now plan for life without their champion all-rounder. Shakib recently announced his retirement from Tests and T20s, leaving a significant void in the team.
Although Bangladesh were outplayed in the preceding Test series, the majority of their T20 players were not part of those matches, so they will not carry any baggage into the white-ball leg of the tour.
India’s squad for 3 T20Is against Bangladesh: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav.
