However, the focus now for Rohit Sharma and Co will be facing a Bangladesh side who are coming o the back of clinching a historic 2-0 Test series win over Pakistan in Rawalpindi. That took Bangladesh to fourth place in the WTC standings with a points percentage of 45.83, whereas India remain on top with 68.52 per cent points.

The return of Rishabh Pant to the Indian Test squad after a two-year absence is one of the major talking points. Pant sustained multiple injuries during a car accident in December 2022, and only made his return to competitive cricket early this year in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Delhi Capitals (DC).
