IND vs BAN: Team India, who have had great results across all formats, though their outcomes were not the finest until winning the T20 World Cup earlier this year. The India team has a schedule for the longest format of the game, as, in the next 113 days, India is set to feature in 10 test matches. India has been crowned No. 1 in tests for over a long period now, as this feat was achieved in the Shastri era, which was continued in the Rahul Dravid times. Under Virat Kohli, India entered the first-ever WTC final in 2021, as they lost against New Zealand in the finals. Next was their two-year cycle, when once again India played some stunning cricket under skipper Rohit Sharma, as he led them to a World Test Championship for the second consecutive time in 2023, when they lost against the Australian side led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Cummins">Pat Cummins</a>. This time around as well, Dravid splurged with immense test cricket success until Gambhir took over. India will play their first-ever test series under their new coach, Gautam Gambhir, who has given preference to his idealism and hence made changes to the squad.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="indias-supposed-squad-with-some-likely-new-faces">India?s Supposed Squad with some likely new faces</h2>



India has recently instructed their players to make a move, and the BCCI also issued a strict notice to the players of the national side for participation in domestic leagues in order to prepare themselves for the upcoming international saga. Likely Yashasvi Jaiswal, the left-handed young batter from Mumbai, has been a part of the Indian team for this WTC cycle, and he has been the supreme batter despite the presence of the most veteran cricketers. Hence, undoubtedly Jaiswal will continue to feature alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the longest format of the game for India.

</figure>



 These two openers are placed among the top 10 ranks of the ICC Test Rankings, and the veteran Virat Kohli is also placed 10th. Kohli will be placed in the team as well. Now comes the players, over whose selection there remain some questions to be answered. Cheteshwar Pujara was replaced by a young Indian batter, Shubman Gill, at no. 3. However, Gill has been out of touch for a long time now, and players like Mumbai skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, youngsters Sarfaraz Khan, and also Tilak Verma have shown promising domestic seasons to replace him from the side.

Rishabh Pant has made a comeback and will likely be the first-choice wicketkeeper in Team India?s Test squad.

 While players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and also the likes of young wk-batter Dhruv Jurel will also be trying to compete for the middle-order spots of Team India. India seems to have settled down with the likes of Ravindra Jadeja at no. 7, as he has been the greatest among all-rounders in the format. At the same time, Axar Patel can once again feature as India?s finest all-format all-rounder, as his batting abilities are on par with his bowling geniuses. Gambhir has indicated that he is not likely to further include the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravichandran_Ashwin">Ravi Ashwin</a>, despite the 38-year-old being India?s highest wicket-taker in test cricket. But Gambhir indicated even the greatest have to depart someday, and hence he sanctioned Kuldeep and Washington Sundar to prepare for the Duleep Trophy.

 While India?s likely pace bench would feature players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and also Md. Siraj. What remains is doubt over players like Shardul Thakur or Umesh Yadav, who are no more likely to be in the format, with some other fine picks that might replace them in the near future.

India vs Bangladesh: 3 Indian Players who might not feature feature in the third T20i versus Bangladesh: On Saturday, 12th of October, Team India will square off against Bangladesh in the third and final T20 International match of the ongoing three-match T20 International series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium of Hyderabad.



Captained by Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue have been nothing but sensational in the series, securing two successive comfortable wins. After securing a win by seven wickets in the opening encounter, the home side humiliated the Tigers in the second contest as they defeated them by a margin of 86 runs in the city of Delhi and clinched the three-match T20 International series.



However, despite winning two-back-to-back matches, the Indian Cricket Team might look to drop a few players from their Starting XI for the third T20 International. So, as both the sides prepare to take on each other for one last time in this series, let's take a look at three Indian players who might not get a chance to play in Hyderabad. 



3 Indian player who might not get a chance to play in the third T20 International versus Bangladesh



<ol start="3" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Varun Chakaravarthy</li>
</ol>



Varun Chakaravarthy has made a memorable and remarkable comeback to his International Career. The leg-spinner, who was not even considered for selection following his horrible outing in the 2021 T20 World Cup, received an International call-up after a span of three years.



Seizing the chance with both hands, he used his cunning variations in the middle-overs to completely destroy Bangladesh.



After picking up an outstanding three-wicket-haul in the first T20 International, Varun worked his magic, ending the game with amazing figures of 2-19 next to his name.



So, considering that the Suryakumar Yadav-led team have already clinched the series, they might think of giving some rest to Varun and bring in another talented leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in his place, who is eager to perform well and impress the team's management.



2. Mayank Yadav



Indian Cricket Team's latest fast bowling wonderkid Mayank Yadav has had an amazing start to his T20 International career as he has performed admirably in the Bangladesh T20I series. Suryakumar Yadav has effectively employed him as a middle-overs-enforcer, with the fast bowler terrorising the Tigers with his sheer speed and variations.



However, India needs to carefully control Mayank's workload given that he is a rare talent and has just recovered from a back injury. As the Men in Blue have already sealed the three-match series, they might consider giving some rest to the young speedster and replace him with another fast-bowling wonderkid Harshit Rana for this forthcoming encounter.



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sanju Samson</li>
</ol>



The experienced wicket-keeper batsman from Kerala, Sanju Samson, failed to capitalise on yet another opportunity to seal his spot in Team India's T20 International squad. Despite the 2024 T20 World Cup winners playing on excellent batting surfaces, Samson failed to live upto expectations as he underperformed with the bat in the first two matches of the series.



The absence of the duo of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave the Rajasthan Royals skipper a golden chance to open the innings and become a regular in Team India's setup in the shortest format of the game. But, the 29-year-old couldn't do much, scoring just 38 runs in the first two encounters.



Although the lack of a regular opening batter in the Men in Blue's squad might allow Sanju to retain his spot, eyebrows won't be raised if the team-management decide to replace Samson with hard-Hitting batter Tilak Verma.



The Mumbai Indians batter is a proven performer and he can open the batting if required. Plus he can also roll his arm over with his part time off-spin bowling.



But, if the Men in Blue want to replace Samson with Tilak, then they must drop a middle-order batsman to allow Jitesh Sharma play as the wicket-keeper batsman.
