India vs Bangladesh 1st ODI: Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, is ready to face Litton Das’ Bangladesh in a three-match ODI series to begin their tour of the Asian neighbors after the conclusion of their trip to New Zealand. The Men in Blue are visiting Bangladesh for the first time since 2015. The Tigers will be without regular skipper Tamim Iqbal due to a recent groin injury.
In the past few months, the weather has become a contentious issue as Team India played the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia and then the limited overs series against New Zealand when it seemed that the terrible weather was following them. Rain impacted more than half of the games during India’s most recent tour of New Zealand. Four out of six games were cancelled owing to bad weather, and rain interrupted the remaining two games too, preventing the highly anticipated series between the two teams.
