Indian Cricket Team is all set to lock horns against unpredictable Bangladesh on 04th December (Sunday). Bangladesh has some good memories as last time in 2015 they had defeated India in the ODI Series by 2-1. The team would be hoping to take a leaf out of that performance.

India lost the ODI Series against New Zealand h by 1-0  and once again questions are raised over their preparation. The squad didn’t feature senior players but they had a strong side. The major disappointment was of Rishabh Pant who was seen struggling badly throughout the white ball leg.

Danish Kaneria on Rishabh Pant

Danish Kaneria was seen speaking on his YouTube channel and made interesting comments on Rishabh Pant. “India should accept the fact that Rishabh Pant is not a white-ball cricketer. They have tried him at every position in the order, just so that he can score runs. But what about Sanju Samson? Did he do anything wrong by scoring 36 runs?” said Danish Kaneria.

“From fans to former players, everyone has expressed displeasure over this. All this is very demoralizing for Sanju Samson, as he is being treated like an average cricketer.”  he added.

Tough Task for Bangladesh

The Bangladeshi Cricket Team would be well aware of the fact that India has a long and powerful batting line up. Bangladesh will have to be spot on with their selection and expose India’s middle order. The flamboyant all-rounder Shakib holds the key against India as he has the knack of picking up crucial wickets.

The management would be hoping that Rishabh hits form as the batter can’t be backed for too long. The wicket-keeper batter needs to play his natural game rather than getting into the shell. There are chances that the batter may get a promotion up the order which will allow him to spend some more time at the crease.
