On the other hand, India’s bowling have been of top quality which has challenged every time across the globe. The likes of Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma will hope to keep up their exploit alongside the spinners. The hosts are likely to persist with Wriddhiman Saha over Rishabh Pant for the upcoming series as well.

For Bangladesh, the main challenge will be to tackle India’s quality bowling unit. The bowlers have picked all the 20 wickets of South Africa in the last three Tests, especially the fast bowlers which will be a sign of worry. The absence of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal make things even more difficult for the visitors.
