World champions India will face Bangladesh in the T20 series with a young team.

For the first time international cricket is going to be held at the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium with today's Bangladesh-India match. The match will start at 7:30 pm Bangladesh time. Pacer Mayank Yadav, who created a storm of speed in the last edition of IPL, may make his debut in this match. Which is referred to as the X factor by the host captain. Apart from this, Suryakumar also informed about the plan to play Sanju Samson in the opening. In the absence of Yasswi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, it was already predictable that there will be a change in India's opening in the T20 series.

Apart from this, the idea of ​​how the pitch can be is also matched by Suryakumar's words. In the pre-match press conference, he said, 'Sanju Samson is going to open in this series. The wicket is not slow. Wickets are good in T20 format. We are aware of the situation here and the pitch. We also have thoughts about dew. We know what to do on the field. If everyone can contribute, then surely we will get the desired result.' Aggressive opener Abhishek Sharma is more likely to open with Samson.


The Indian captain also hinted at the debut of pacer Mayank Yadav. But Suryakumar also mentioned a caveat about playing him, 'There is an X factor in him. It's not just him, but others too. Although I have not played him in the net, but I have seen him play. We all know what he can do, how much talent he has. I noticed during his franchise cricket that he has extra pace. But now there are so many games, the cricketers also have to be watched. He is going to be a big weapon for the team, hopefully he will enrich the team.'

Gold coins will be available instead of cash at ATMs


At the same time, Surya also thinks that this series against Bangladesh is a good opportunity for youngsters to prove themselves, 'It is a great opportunity for young cricketers. They have performed well in their state teams wherever they have played. Nothing is supposed to be different here.'
