Will Harshit Rana get a chance in the third match?
The Indian team, which has won two consecutive matches against Bangladesh, is now eyeing the third T20 match. This match will be played on Saturday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. During this, the goal of Suryakumar Yadav’s army will be to clean sweep against Bangladesh. Currently, Team India is leading the series 2-0.
Senior players got rest
India gave a chance to young players in this T20 series by resting some of its key players, who showed the spirit of victory by fully implementing the strategy of head coach Gautam Gambhir. The way India played aggressive cricket to achieve the result in the second Test match played against Bangladesh in Kanpur a few days ago shows the new approach of the team. India recently won the series against Bangladesh 2-0. Now the team would like to capture the T20 series 3-0 as well.
Golden opportunity for Mayank and Varun
Keeping in mind an important competition like the Champions Trophy to be held next year, the team management is also focusing on preparing some good options. Be it fast bowler Mayank Yadav or spinner Varun Chakraborty, Gambhir is keeping a close eye on their performance and these players have also not disappointed their head coach yet. Mayank could not play most of the matches due to injury after IPL 2024, but in this series he has shown a good sample of his skill by bowling at a speed of 150 kmph. Chakraborty has made a successful comeback to the national team after three years by taking three wickets in the first match in Gwalior.
Samson’s bat did not work in the second match
The team management will also keep a close eye on the performance of all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who played a brilliant innings of 74 runs off 34 balls in the second T20 match in Delhi and also took two wickets. Amidst these positive aspects, the performance of the opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will be a matter of concern for the team. Samson was given a chance to open the innings but this wicketkeeper batsman from Kerala has not been able to take advantage of it yet. He scored 29 in the first match and 10 in the second match.
