Suryakumar Yadav to lead in our best predicted squad and players list for India vs Bangladesh 2024 T20 series.

As Team India prepare for the Test Series vs Bangladesh, the selectors and the Indian team management are already planning for the next series, which is the T20 series vs Bangladesh. After a 2-match Test series, India will be locking horns with Bangladesh for a 3-match T20 series starting October 6, 2024. But unlike the Test series, a completely new squad is expected to play the T20 series.

Suryakumar Yadav will be back to lead the team in the T20 series. This will be Suryakumar Yadav’s second series as a Captain after having a stunning start against Sri Lanka where the team whitewashed Sri Lanka 3-0. While the Sri Lanka series was played away from home, the Bangladesh T20 series shall be played in India, thus making it the first home series for Suryakumar Yadav as the Captain.

As we know, the T20 series is nicely sandwiched between the Bangladesh and New Zealand Test series. Thus, most of the regular senior players from the Test Series will be rested for the Bangladesh T20 series. So, what insights do we have in terms of the T20 squad? Well, let’s find the best predicted squad and players list for India vs Bangladesh 2024 T20 series.

India vs Bangladesh 2024 T20 Series Squad Decoded

If we look at the T20 squad that played against Sri Lanka, the team had four batters in the form of Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. With Gill playing all three formats at the moment, it is highly likely that India rest him for the Bangladesh T20 series. In his absence, India are most-likely to select Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been impressive so far in the T20I outings. The other three batters, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, and Yashasvi Jaiswal should continue as usual.

For the wicket-keepers, we should see a big change with India mostly resting Rishabh Pant, and Sanju Samson getting dropped from the squad. Pant may be rested to keep him fresh for the New Zealand Tests. Whereas Sanju could be out of the squad seeing his back-to-back ducks in his last t20 T20Is. In their place, India will mostly select Dhurv Jurel and Ishan Kishan. While Dhruv will play a role of a finisher, Kishan may see himself as a backup opener, at the number 4 position.

Coming to all-rounders, India should continue with the same five players that played against Sri Lanka. So, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube, and Washington Sundar should be the five all-rounders in line for the Bangladesh series. As you know, India had played all these players together in the match, which gave them almost 7 bowling options. Overall, Washington Sundar was impressive in the last T20 series with some good all-round show.

Jasprit Bumrah Rested

Finally, for the bowling, India will mostly rest Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav. These three bowlers will play an active interest in the Test series vs Bangladesh. Thus, they deserve a good rest to stay afresh for the Test series vs New Zealand. In place of them, India should play Khaleel Amed, Harshit Rana, and Ravi Bishnoi. Harshit may be a lucky entrant in the attack after impressing in the IPL and recent domestic tournaments.

The team should see a lot of senior players being rested to keep them afresh for the Test series v New Zealand. There should be some new faces in the team like Dhurv Jurel and Harshit Rana, who will be itching to give their best in the series.
