Team India to Return to Action After 40 Days: Here’s Their Upcoming Schedule
India vs Bangladesh Test and T20 Series:
Current Status: The Indian cricket team recently wrapped up a series against Sri Lanka, playing both T20 and ODI formats. While India emerged victorious in the T20 series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, they faced defeat in the ODI series. The team will now take a 40-day break before resuming play. This year, India will focus on Test and T20 formats, with no more ODIs scheduled.
Upcoming Fixtures: India will host Bangladesh for a multi-format series that includes both Tests and T20s:
- Test Series:
- First Test: Starts on September 19 in Chennai.
- Second Test: Begins on September 27 in Kanpur.
- T20 Series:
- First T20 Match: October 6 in Dharamshala.
- Second T20 Match: October 9 in Delhi.
- Third T20 Match: October 12 in Hyderabad.
Future Matches: Following the series against Bangladesh, India will play two Test matches against New Zealand. Additionally, they will face Australia in a five-Test series. Under the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma, the team is gearing up for these challenging fixtures as they prepare for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
Recent Performance Review: India’s recent performance against Sri Lanka saw them lose the ODI series 2-0. Despite some strong individual performances, such as from Axar Patel, the overall team performance was underwhelming. Key players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill struggled during the series. Rahul and Iyer had returned to the team after a long absence but could not deliver as expected.
With a busy schedule ahead, the Indian team will need to regroup and focus on their preparations for the upcoming matches against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia.
