In the absence of their skipper Rohit Sharma, the Men in Blue under KL Rahul will look to make amends when they face the overpowering Bangladesh team in Chattogram for the final ODI of the 3-match series.
Despite humiliating losses in the previous 2 ODIs, KL Rahul’s injury-marred team would look to bury the past and emerge victorious and repeat their feat from 2015. Back then, the winners of the 3-match ODI series, the Bangla Tigers knelt in front of Team India after suffering a 77-run loss in the final match.
However, the momentum currently is on the hosts’ side. The additional baggage of injured players is a further blow to the visitors. From the skipper to Deepak Chahar to Kuldeep Sen; all 3 players have been ruled out of the final ODI. In turn, BCCI announced the return of spinner Kuldeep Yadav to the side.
While the wobbly top order that has been India’s biggest nemesis in the ongoing series would look to come good in the final ODI, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav will look to rescue India from the blushes of a whitewash alongside Umran Malik.
On the other hand, the formidable-looking Tigers who won their 7th consecutive bilateral series at home when they defeated India by 5 runs in the 2nd ODI, would now focus on maintaining their control over their home fortress and seal an unprecedented 3-0 win against India.
