Asia Cup 2018: Super Four - India vs Bangladesh - India's Predicted Playing XI

India will walk into the Super Four stage like a confident unit against Bangladesh. The Indian side had to sweat hard for their win against Hong Kong. However, it was a comfortable win for the Men in Blue against arch-rivals Pakistan as they won by eight wickets. Therefore, India has been able to do a fine job thus far in the tournament. Subsequently, they will like to continue with the impetus for the Super Four stages.

On the other hand, Bangladesh also got off to a fine start against Sri Lanka when they went on to win by 137 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim was able to play a match-winning knock of 144 runs. However, the Tigers received a massive blow as Tamim Iqbal was ruled out after suffering from a fractured wrist.

India has added Ravindra Jadeja to the squad who returns to ODIs after a long time. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur were ruled out. Thus, Siddharth Kaul and Deepak Chahar were added to the squad.
