IND vs BAN 1st Test Dream11 Prediction: After a rare break of over a month, the Indian cricket team will be back in action to kick off their home season with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
India have been the most dominant force at home in Test cricket for over a decade, having won all their home Test series since 2013. But they can’t take Bangladesh lightly, as Najmul Hossain Shanto’s team is coming off a historic maiden Test series win over Pakistan, that too in Rawalpindi.
The two Tests, which are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, will be played in Chennai and Kanpur before the two teams meet in a three-match T20I series.
Although India are expected to whitewash Bangladesh, the visitors could pose a threat to the hosts with their spinners.
