The next goal of the Indian team is to defeat Bangladesh. The Bangladesh team is coming to India next month. Where a Test series will be played between the two teams. The first match of this Test series will be played on 19 September. By winning this series, Team India would like to strengthen its position in the points table of the World Test Championship final.
India would not want to take Bangladesh lightly at all, because this team can counterattack anytime. After this Test series, changes can be seen in Team India as well. In such a situation, this Test series is becoming important for these three players. Because if these three players are not able to perform well in this series, then they can be dropped from the Test team.
Shubhman Gill
BCCI and selectors want Shubman Gill to play in all formats. Gill was also made the vice-captain of both T20 and ODI teams on the Sri Lanka tour, but Gill's recent form has not been very good. Apart from this, Gill will not open with Rohit Sharma due to Yashasvi Jaiswal. In such a situation, if Gill is included in the team against Bangladesh and his performance is not good, then he can be dropped from the Test team.
Shreyas Iyer
The current form of Team India's middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer is not very good. Iyer was included in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour. But this player once disappointed the team with his poor performance. Gill scored only 38 runs with the bat in three matches of this series. Iyer played his last Test match against England. Iyer could score only 27 runs in the first innings and 29 runs in the second innings.
KL Rahul
KL Rahul was dropped from Team India after a poor performance in IPL 2024. Due to which he was not selected in the team for the T20 World Cup 2024. Rahul made a comeback in the ODI series played against Sri Lanka. In this series too, Rahul disappointed the fans and the team with his poor performance. KL Rahul played his last Test match in the home Test series against England this year. In which he scored 86 runs in the first innings and 22 runs in the second innings. Rahul was also out of this series due to injury.
