The match will mark Suryakumar Yadav’s first match leading the team on home soil after his appointment as the full-time T20I captain in July this year. This is also the first time Men in Blue are playing a T20I in India since winning the 2024 T20 World Cup. India are without several first-choice players like Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Siraj after the BCCI decided to not select any Test players team in the squad for the T20I series.
Bangladesh have beaten India in a T20I only once and will look to improve their head-to-head record. India have won 13 of the 14 T20Is these teams have played.
India could have as many as three debutants in their playing XI, with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, and Mayank Yadav in the squad.
