India vs Bangladesh 1st T20 2024 Likely Playing 11 for Both Teams
Suryakumar Yadav returns to lead the Indian team in our India vs Bangladesh 2024 1st T20 match best playing 11 for both teams.
After a stunning end to the Test Series as India whitewashed Bangladesh 2-0, the excitement now moves to the shortest format of the game, the T20 series. It’s a rare sight where we see a squad in the same tour with not a single member getting repeated in both series. The 3-match T20 series will not see a single member in the squad that was also a part of the Test Series.
The T20 series will see the return of Suryakumar Yadav as the Captain of the squad. Whereas for Bangladesh, Najmul Shanto will continue to lead the Bangladesh side. With a completely revamped squad, it’s a great opportunity for a lot of youngsters like Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Yadav, etc., who otherwise wouldn’t have been a part of the squad had India played a full-fledged squad.
Overall, India have a superior record over Bangladesh in T20Is. Of the 14 T20Is between the two teams, India have won 13 times, and Bangladesh have won just 1 time. The T20 series anyway as such doesn’t hold a lot of significance apart from being a great opportunity point for the youngsters. So, with a completely new squad, let’s look at the best playing 11 for India vs Bangladesh 1st T20 2024.

India vs Bangladesh 2024 Official T20 Squad and Players List:
Batters: Rinku Singh & Suryakumar Yadav (c)
Wicket-keepers: Jitesh Sharma & Sanju Samson
All-rounders: Abhishek Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Reddy, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube & Washington Sundar
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi & Varun Chakravarthy
If we talk about India’s best likely playing 11, we should see India opting for Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as the openers given the team doesn’t have a second opener alongside Abhishek Sharma. Given the lack of options, India will mostly continue with the duo for all three matches. For the middle-order, India will opt for Suryakumar Yadav, Riyan Parag, and Shivam Dube. The use of Dube will mostly be as a floater, and to tackle the spinners.
With a solid top 5, we are looking at Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, and Washington Sundar as the finishers in the squad. Not only does India have strong finishing options but the team also has solid batting depth, and almost 8 bowling options. However, there could be a scenario where India rest Shivam Dube, and instead play an additional fast bowler. However, that possibility looks dim for now.
For the bowling lineup, India will see as many as 8 bowling options in the current playing 11. Arshdeep Singh should lead the pace bowling duties with support from Mayank Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Shiva Dube. Whereas Ravi Bishnoi should lead the spin bowling duties with support from Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, and Abhishek Sharma. It’s a great team setup with 8 batting and 8 bowling options.
